The war on working class Americans continues. This time in Utah. And not by the legislature or governor, but by a school board.

Under the guise of "merit-based pay" for teachers, the Ogden Utah School Board has unilaterally killed it's teacher's union, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

The district sent notices to teachers last weekend, telling them that it is not negotiating with the Ogden Education Association for a collective 2011-12 contract. Teachers are asked to sign and return an individual contract by July 20 or their jobs will be advertised as open for hire.
