Utah repeals ban on collective bargaining for teachers, firefighters and police unions Utah has repealed a collective bargaining ban that prevented labor unions serving teachers, firefighters, police and other public employees from negotiating on behalf of their workers.

US state of UTAH repeals farright Republican law that took away bargaining rights of public service workers like teachers, police, teachers, firefighters and many more

Yet more evidence farright is not on the side of workers
