Supreme Court backs firing of illegal strikers in Hortonville case
The Supreme Court ruled 6 to 4 that school boards may dismiss teachers who illegally strike during contract negotiations. The decision reversed Wisconsin’s high court on Hortonville, where teachers were discharged in 1974. The ruling upheld board authority despite due process concerns and noted the board’s involvement in events did not erase trust in policy makers.

The Charleston West Side Lions Club will sponsor a Lions Summer Fest next Monday through Saturday at the Charleston Civic Center parking lot.

The court also strikes down a Puerto Rican law barring non citizens from professional engineer licenses.
