With all the drama, I was expecting worse.  Basically they don’t like being accountable to show up a on time and DCI released an at will employee without telling all the staff and students the reason.

Sounds like the biggest issue is with the union. [i]“Salaries have also been a central facet of the complaints made by teachers and staff. Last year, DCI teachers unionized in the hope of getting higher pay, but some of them say they have not seen the changes that they were promised.”   [/i]

Who promised them higher pay?  Sounds like they should be hammering the Mayor and Council for funding parity like the law requires so they could get paid more.[/quote]

I support the unionization drive but I thought it was messy and poorly led. I am not very surprised that the teachers are learning the hard way that collective bargaining involves bargaining. Best case scenario with a union at a charter school is you have fewer permanent staff making more money, and worst case is you still get people fired and churn increases because admin starts doing things like auditing card punches and firing troublemakers who might have a problem with the concept of linear time.
