[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I don’t see the controversy of an advocacy group advocating for their members. Especially for a weather event that eventually led to the closing of the Federal and County government. FCPS wasn’t even the first district to call for early dismissal.

If they tried to pressure Gatehouse with threats of sick outs or other actions then there’d be a story. [/quote]

My problem is pressure to do something for teachers that could endanger students. The line for advocacy really needs to be before student safety.

If a kid was struck by a falling tree yesterday would gatehouse have admitted there was advocacy from the teachers union to close? It’s different from their advocacy around snow days, where the risk calculus is the other way and gatehouse can always say this was the interest of safety. Yesterday was a bad safety call.[/quote]

The union advocacy to force an early dismissal yesterday only occurred in your head.  You hate teachers for some reason and it fits your narrative.  It's actually laughable that you think the union has that much power.

Many other organizations closed early yesterday, including federal and local government offices.  The House cancelled all votes yesterday due to the weather impact.  But in FCPS, it was definitely because of the union.[/quote]
