[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The unions failed spectacularly in their bargaining. [b]They allowed FCPS to give 5% raises to nonunion members[/b] like central office staff and accepted cuts in school staff that make teachers jobs harder.[/quote] Did they really have a choice? They asked for 7% to teachers, the county said nope, the best you get is 6% and we’re going to do non teaching raises too and oops your class sizes are bigger next year. [u]Realistically the union has no power[/u]. They could have thrown a hissy fit and demanded the 7% and it wouldn’t have changed anything. They accepted the decrease to save face, knowing they were never going to get what they wanted. The school board, board of supervisors, and superintendent actually have control. The union has nothing other than shouting loudly.[/quote]
