| Did you know our President and Vice President speak at almost every Board of Education meeting? To watch live, click here, or tune in to Time Warner Cable Public Access Channel 17. Next Board meeting: March 3rd at the JD Piazza Center (District Office) ATTENTION USW MEMBERS Did you know the District is trying to break our Contract? Article 43 of our CBA places the President on full release time to serve our 1500+ members. The Board of Education is about to vote to DISREGARD THIS PART OF OUR CONTRACT, with no negotiation whatsoever. This is old-fashioned Union-busting happening right here in our District. What other inconvenient Articles will they disregard next? Seniority? Benefits? These cost money too... The Union negotiating team has been meeting with the District for over 5 months and they have never brought up Article 43 or the subject of release time. WHO IS BEHIND THIS IDEA? WHO IS LEADING THIS DISTRICT? |
