[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have said on this and every single other thread for the past 4 months that the union was NOT going to strike.  I’ve been called names, told I was dumb and didn’t understand how I junk a worker, told teachers are disgusting people etc.  The only people on this board who have been ruling people up like this have a alternative agenda.

I’m so concerned that people in this educated of an area can fall for fake news and trolls just like lower educated areas.  It really is concerning. [/quote]

they did strike in November- did you miss that? And they are literally taking a poll on striking now. [/quote]

They didn’t strike lol
That’s like saying you skipped school when you’re mom called you in sick![/quote]

DCPS filed a complaint against the union and called it a strike, which it was. Had it not been rescinded based on the terms of the MOA the PERB would have ruled on as a strike and fined the union. That was part of the terms of the MOA.  I'm not sure if you are being intentionally clueless, lol.

Not every collective action is a strike, even if DCPS calls it one. Not even half of the teachers participated in it.

All of the keyboard warriors on this forum love acting like they know everything about unions, it’s hilarious and frankly kind of pathetic. You think union members get sick leave when they strike? You think students have asynchronous work assigned to them during a teacher strike? Please. [/quote]

it was a strike, obviously. it’s honestly painful to know you must be a DCPS teacher. [/quote]

You can call it a strike if you want, but it's honestly painful to know you must not be a labor and employment lawyer. A one-day sick-out is a collective action, true, but it is not a strike. [/quote]

The length is irrelevant. DCPS cancelled return, so the WTU won. No one knows if it would have been only one day if DCPS hadn't caved.[/quote]

DCPS didn't cave or cancel return based on the sick-out. October 30th or so the PERB ruling forced DCPS to throw out the staffing survey and DCPS couldn't staff schools unless they ordered everyone back. The sick-out was a meaningless exercise orchestrated by the union that has been perceived as a win by the WTU.[/quote]

I don't mean to suggest that the sick out had anything to do w/ DCPS caving... But since they did cave, obviously the sick out ended. So the fact it was only one day has no bearing on whether it was illegal under the WTU's contract.[/quote]
