[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mmmmm.  Whatever.  "Union."  For 35 years.  (!!!)  LOL.  Nope, not in Virginia.[/quote]

Oops.  25 years.  Excuse my typo.  The rest still stands.  Go back to your cave, troll.[/quote]

You definitely don’t know what you are talking about. There are locals for both NEA and AFT in VA. They have building reps. I don’t know what else to say and think perhaps you are trolling me.[/quote]DP.  In your 8:05 post you clearly identify yourself as a "union rep."  That's what she is responding to.  We don't have unions in Virginia, and we certainly don't have unions in APS or any part of Northern Virginia, which you would know that if  you were truly what you say you are.  Please stop embarrassing yourself and go somewhere else to troll.  We aren't buying any of what you're selling.[/quote]

Unions historically don't have bargaining rights (but did as of May 1, 2021), but unions do exist in APS   https://aeava.org/

That website has a list of union reps on it (in APS). If you really want to know them. Not every school has a delegate though. [/quote]

But this person isn't trolling for union rights. This person is a Youngkin troll.  You know, the no mask, no vaccine kind of trolling for Youngkin.  Her agenda is pretty clear.  She is being completely untruthful about her role as a Red Younkin Troll.

She also doesn't understand some basic facts about what is happening in Red rural Virginia, which is where she is from, and NoVa, which is where APS is located.  Of course, no teachers are complaining in Red rural Virginia.  They are glad of their jobs because being a teacher in Red rural Virginia is a pretty good gig and one of the easiest jobs in town with adequate pay.  We have a farm down in rural Virginia and our farm manager's wife is a teacher.  None of those women are rocking the boats because they want their jobs and need the income.  They don't have any options for alternative careers in Red rural Virginia.

However, it is a completely different story in NoVa where teachers are able to easily transition to other jobs and occupations right now and earn a lot more money.  It is ignorant and hostile actions like hers that make it difficult for the parent population in NoVa to understand that their constant hostility towards teachers isn't going to convince teachers to stay in their jobs and it is, in fact, driving them out.

My school has lost over 10% of its teachers and staff since the school year began and we were not fully staffed to begin with.  Teachers are moving out of teaching, support staff are moving to different districts because they got a "promotion," and administrators either have moved to other districts or have also moved out of working in schools.  People who work in schools right now are tired of the direct and latent animosity and hostility being shown to them.  Couple that with relatively low pay and the ability to find new jobs at better pay and you have a recipe for disaster in NoVa schools.

We're at a crossroads.  It can get worse or it can get better.  If you keep believing trolls like this troll then things are going to get a lot worse for us up here in NoVa.[/quote]
