Swiss town fires veteran teacher amid boycott
Sule in Switzerland faced a strange protest when a town dismissed a 50 year service teacher without pension and could not find a replacement. The Teachers' league had blacklisted the town, refusing to lift the ban until the pension issue is resolved. The town planned to sue the league but no lawyer could be found to take the case. The matter remains unresolved as the Golden Days program continues.
