[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference between a union and a professional association is that a union has formal bargaining rights, meaning that they have a formalized relationship with the employer whereby they are allowed to negotiate terms of employment (e.g., pay, benefits, working conditions) on behalf of employees.[/quote]

And in the state of Virginia, public sector collective bargaining rights will go into affect this spring.

NEA has a TON of money backing FEA.

So if you are a teacher in Fairfax then they are your union and they speak for you. [/quote]

No they don’t.  Why would you say this?  [/quote]

Good lord. That’s what unionization is. FEA is the NEA local and can get collective bargaining in May. At which point, the ill o ally represent your interests in things like salary negotiations.  The public believes they speak for you now. In a few months, they will formally represent you in bargaining for the terms of your employment.

Teachers have pushed for years for this. It’s what you wanted. You go it. [/quote]
