Gwinnett County Public Schools

Gwinnett County bus driver Dora Elizabeth Cook was president of the United School Employees Association and spent her breaks recruiting other bus drivers to join the union. In 2002, Cook's supervisory duties were taken away and she was demoted from full time to part time. Cook claimed school system officials told her to stop talking about the union during work hours and that this was the reason for her demotion. According to the court, this violated her constitutional right of freedom of speech and she was awarded a $175,000 settlement. (Oct-07-05) [GWINNETT DAILY POST]
