[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, AEA endorsed Angelo!!![/quote]

Kind of hard for the Miranda camp to say he's not a serious candidate when the TEACHERS endorse him over her.

This is a big deal. [/quote]

Are they really surveying teachers to decide who to endorse? This is the same AEA whose president embezzled a ton of money, right?[/quote]

Oh sure attack the teachers. That's a good look for the Miranda camp.

Bottom line, the teachers have spoken and it sure is embarrassing to Miranda.[/quote]

It’s not an attack on the teachers, I’m saying the organization has not been well run in the very recent past. That’s a fact. The organization is not the same thing as the teachers. [/quote]

From the AEA website:

"The AEA is an organization of Arlington Public Schools (APS) employees who support our union through member dues, and who advocate for employee rights, fair treatment under APS policies and procedures, and a competitive employee compensation package, including salaries commensurate with the cost of living in Arlington."

They did not choose Miranda and I'm listening.

This is from less than 5 months ago. You’re telling me the whole organization has turned around in that time? I saw some comments a week or two ago when they won collective bargaining that the teachers weren’t informed about the outcome.

“ At the time, sources said they were frustrated that the organization had effectively stopped operating, just as the collective bargaining process was starting to ramp up. No one would answer the phone, the website was down for two months and the meeting when members were supposed to launch their executive board campaigns was canceled, raising doubts among members about the fairness of the election.
Meanwhile, a lawyer for the Virginia Education Association said in a memo that the union’s finances were in disarray and not communicated to members. Local leaders admitted the disorganization in a memo to members, saying AEA began the 2021-22 fiscal year without a budget and owed $732,000 in dues to the state and national unions.”
