[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a labor attorney (and DCPS parent), I find the accounts in this article about the union’s tactics to be deeply disturbing. Talk about bargaining in bad faith. [/quote]

Look, maybe you’re a labor attorney and maybe you’re a DCPS parent.

But the whole conservative “education” establishment, led by Betsy DeVos and echoed at Heritage and Manhattan and all the other donor-funded privateers,
is braying to reopen DCPS. But not because they care about kids. Because they care about union busting to enrich themselves and their donor class.

DC has long been a laboratory for greedy rightwing rich donors to privatize schools.  And they’re doing it again.

(Also, for the crowd reading this: “labor attorney” means you work for corporations AGAINST unions.  I’m a law firm partner, and we have other partners who are labor attorney.  Maybe PP will come back and say they really meant they are a huge liberal and Democrat who voted for Obama and just happens to be echoing DeVos and want to bust up the WTU.  But when that reply comes, I gonna be skeptical.)[/quote]

Huh? Labor attorney does not necessarily mean management side. And if the reporting is correct, WTU is engaging in some bizarre and frustrating negotiation tactics. (Not PP.)[/quote]
