[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the WTU planning a strike if they don’t get specific demands?

[/quote]

It is illegal to strike in DC. They are asking us to refuse to return to in-person learning. If we refuse, our options are to document with a medical reason and use one of the leave options or quit/be fired.[/quote]

Wait....the WTU as an organization is asking its members to refuse to return to in-person learning? Am I understanding that correctly? So the union is not really advocating for conditions at schools but rather the ability to never do the job of teaching in-person? I really hope I'm misunderstanding you, PP.[/quote]

You aren't understanding correctly. Or you only read one post. They have a (now) 28 page list of demands. If THOSE demands are not met, they will ask us to refuse to return to in person learning. "Motion 1: WTU Members will engage in distance learning only, until the health protections in the WTU Memorandum of Agreement and set by the CDC and OSSE are fully met and implemented in collaboration with the WTU."[/quote]

The vast majority of the 28 page document is simply a copy of the OSSE and CDC guidance.  It is incorporated into the MOU so that DCPS will have an actual obligation to follow the specific guidance.

Stop trying to fearmonger - of do you actually want to children and teachers to return to schools that are not following health guidance?[/quote]
