Reformatted: Advocate for five days a week by fall

[Anonymous]

Why is there a post about fall in person learning? Of course learning will be in person in the fall unless parents opt out. If they do that’s on them. You don’t need to advocate for something that is already going to happen!

Bunch of Chicken Littles with too much time on their hands live on this board spouting nonsense and getting people riled up.

You aren’t educated on the topic apparently. I wish you were right! Shockingly that’s not the case in DC.

I don’t think you get how damaging that line is to WTU’s support in the real world.

They don’t care. They represent teachers, that’s the only opinion that should matter. The police unions don’t ask you what you think, nor do they care. The trucker/long shore man/electrician unions don’t care what the public thinks either. Their world is limited to their members, as it should be.

I have been comparing the WTU to police unions to demonstrate how badly the WTU is behaving. This is the first time I have ever seen that cast as a positive thing. It's not.


It's also really clear that you have never been a member of a union.

My statement is neither pro or anti-union. It merely states that unions represent their members.

I have been a member of a union. I also a have LE sibling who union stood up for her after a severe sexual harassment incident. But I realize if I don’t post anything but hateful rage at WTU, you must attack me.

I belonged to CSEA.

I was in a union when I worked at a nonprofit org. I literally cannot fathom ever taking a position that “the union only represents our interests as workers; we don’t care about the clients/mission or if our actions harm them.”

It is very, very uncommon for a public service union to declare that they have no interest in or duty regarding their public service recipients’ interests. I was actually shocked when WTU supporters started trotting out that line here. The obvious response is that you lose a whole lot of parent and citizen support for WTU, but you can’t seem to accept that either. By pushing this line WTU loses so much credibility in its negotiations as well - I have no reason to believe you’re engaged in a good faith effort to protect your members vs trying to use the pandemic as leverage.

Neat. A public sector union that doesn't believe in solidarity.

lol and the part where they're saying they have no duty to their recipient's interests... who are children. They are willing to harm kids if that gets them what they want.

A public sector union that hurts kids.

This is the worst messaging.

I'm going to pretend that the person who keeps saying that WTU's job is to ONLY protect its workers' interests isn't actually a WTU member or representative. I hope.
