[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few other threads said there will be a delay of the Nov. 9th opening so pulling it out here. Does anyone have more information? [/quote]

I was told by a union organizer that teachers will be striking this Monday. To protest the plan for going back in person. [/quote]

Your source is wrong. Also “union organizer” isn’t a title WTU uses. [/quote]

We cannot strike. It’s illegal. What’s supposedly planned is a sick out this Friday, Oct. 30. It was the subject of the WTU meeting this week. They want to take “strong collective action” if negotiations aren’t successful. I don’t know the exact number but a majority apparently voted in favor of the sick out. From hearsay it sounds like it could be more than one day if not effective. [/quote]

Aren't sick outs a contract violation? [/quote]

Not sure. Work stoppage is illegal, but we are entitled to take our sick leave so I’m not sure calling out sick would count. [/quote]

Is this definitely happening? Does anyone know when we would be told about this sick out? [/quote]

I haven’t heard anything beyond it being discussed. I’m guessing they will share more tomorrow:

“Join us on Thursday, October 29 at 5:00 PM for a Member Assembly. All members are encouraged to attend.

The WTU Leadership will provide an update on the next steps in our response to the DCPS Reopening Plan. We continue to work to ensure our schools prioritize the health and safety of our students and demand a plan that supports ALL students.

This meeting will be conducted as a WEBINAR, in order to accommodate the expected number of attendees.”[/quote]
