Then, why did the School Board offer collective bargaining? I was a teacher. The only people who benefit are the leaders of the union. Just watch. Their pay will increase dramatically now--not the teachers' pay necessarily, but the union leaders. Also, if this fight is what it is claimed to be, it will be difficult to get rid of the perpetrator(s). |
There is not a current functioning teacher’s union. Some teachers were members of FCFT or FEA but those were not unions in the (usually negative) sense y’all traditionally mean. The new, actual union is still being fashioned and has zero members. |

A rose is a rose is a rose. They did "collective bargaining." It is a teacher's union and this is only the beginning. It is not a good thing. Soon they will have "building reps" who will spend more time on organizing than teaching. |
Interesting are you a teacher....most teachers I know are part of a union. |
If people aren't paying dues it's not a union. Some teachers join FEA or FCFT and choose to pay dues. Collective bargaining is not a union. |
Yes I am, and I am very involved with FEA. Less than half of FCPS teachers belong to a union. |
+1 Aren’t the numbers <4k in each group? |
Especially during a teacher shortage... |
They probably had a productive Restorative Justice circle and that's why the teacher was allowed back! Maybe the admin also gave him a snack and had him do a think sheet. |
In July, one of the FCFT officers spoke in favor of the comprehensive boundary changes while sporting her union T-shirt. A union in favor of that type of massive disruption is clearly not looking out for FCPS kids or teachers. I don’t support FCFT as a result. |

The unions are not in favor of helping children. And, just wait until their teachers find out that they are going to be transferred because students are being sent to other schools. They are not thinking about the fact that this will also affect them. And, that was a slick move by FCFT to speak in favor of something the SB wants when they are in the process of negotiating a contract. |
