[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The communication is pretty one sided. There hasn’t been any concerns published regarding the risks of unionizing. MV will have even less funds to pay teachers once they unionize since they will have to pay for lawyers. I’m afraid MV will go down the same path as Chavez and everyone will lose out.[/quote]

BS. MV has lawyers now. All employers do. The Chavez teachers didn’t have as high a percentage of teachers joining and the school had academic performance issues, making it easy for the Board to retaking shutting that campus down.

Employees have the right to join together and collectively bargain. MV admin could have acknowledged and accepted this face, but choose to fight.

Rarely do satisfied employees decide to form a union. If the employer is hostile to the idea, it puts them at risk (will MV find a performance-based reason to now fire 90+ people?) Those that do pursue one have usually been pushed to the edge.

What the MV teachers are saying about decision making and how their school is managed, tracks with what many parents said publicly to the PCSB during the expansion hearing. Will the MV board listen or retreat further into their bunker. [/quote]
