[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference between a union and a professional association is that a union has formal bargaining rights, meaning that they have a formalized relationship with the employer whereby they are allowed to negotiate terms of employment (e.g., pay, benefits, working conditions) on behalf of employees.[/quote]

And in the state of Virginia, public sector collective bargaining rights will go into affect this spring.

NEA has a TON of money backing FEA.

So if you are a teacher in Fairfax then they are your union and they speak for you. [/quote]

What about APFE and FCFT?

Collective bargaining doesn’t take effect automatically.[/quote]

[b]The Fairfax County BOS has pretty clearly signaled that they are going to approve it and VEA has stated that asking for it is their biggest priority this year.

I don't know about the surrounding districts in VA because I don't live there and haven't looked, but it's a virtual lock for Fairfax Co.[/quote]

It’s the school board, not the county BOS that would approve it for school employees. That’s just one step in the process. There also has to be a vote by employees and they could choose either the NEA, AFT locals or choose to have no union. It takes a while.[/quote]
