[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When a poor teacher was confronted by the principal at DC's school after a tsunami of parent complaints she disappeared for a while and I was told it was due to some union advice like a mini-strike type thing.

We heard she still got paid and it wasn't an administrative leave. I think it's how the union operates. It's like terrorism. They can't replace the teacher and the class doesn't have a teacher which creates a huge problem for the school.[/quote]

Funny, there is this other thread about "why you parents believe your kid's lies", and here we have folks saying crazy stuff and other's believing.

There is no such thing as a mini strike: if the teacher doesn't show, it's a breach of contract. End of story.

Also, it's the union's legal duty to represent the teacher, no matter how egregious the issue. Just like it's any lawyer's duty to defend their client, no matter how egregious the crime.

It's a long slow process to get rid of a teacher; but then it's easier to get rid of a bad teacher than a bad cop! Talk about crazy employee rights based on union contracts!
