Bobby could have stayed in the plant and secured a comfortable future for his family—a future with financial security that the union and collective bargaining guaranteed. But his dream was to become a teacher. Going to school at night on the G. His dream did not come without a cost. The collective bargaining rights he enjoyed as an autoworker did not exist for public school employees—nor did the good wages, benefits and pensions.
Taking a significant pay cut, he taught during the day and worked nights. Some nights he worked in the Flint post office—another job with union representation and collective bargaining. Some nights he tended bar. On good nights, he earned more tending bar than he did in his teaching job.
He moved his family to Davison, a suburb just east of Flint and took a job teaching in the Davison schools. At the same time, he began tending bar in Davison at night to continue supplementing his meager teaching salary.

When I announced that I was pregnant, I was told that I must take a two year leave of absence, without pay, as soon as I wore maternity clothes or at six months of pregnancy. In Marquette, pregnant teachers were required to leave at five months and care for their newborn for a year. They were not guaranteed a job at the end of that year. Other aspects of their private lives were also not out of bounds.
Before bargaining was legal, teachers also had no input into how their schools were run. Judy Foster taught in Dearborn Heights in There was no limit. As a Home Economics teacher, she was expected to cater all school functions.
Neither they nor I got paid; I was told it was part of the job. I had no choice. Salaries were imposed by the administration.
