[quote=Anonymous][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]

What about APFE and FCFT?

Collective bargaining doesn’t take effect automatically.[/quote]

The Fairfax County BOS has pretty clearly signaled that they are going to approve it and VEA has stated that asking for it is their biggest priority this year.

I don't know about the surrounding districts in VA because I don't live there and haven't looked, but it's a virtual lock for Fairfax Co.[/quote]

Just look at the makeup of the school board and board of supervisors, they all campaigned on it.

Also the NOVA reps in the state house cheered it's passing last year.

FEA has NEAs backing, so they are going to elbow out the other associations.

This is why I get made when people say Kim Adams and FEA only speak for 3% of teachers, or they aren't a real union. She is going to be reping you all in collective bargaining before the end of the year. She has eyes for a national role and there is no better way to get there then press coverage and work stoppages.

Buckle up, this is just the beginning.
