[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Teachers in VA are not legally allowed to strike. The presidents of the FEA and FCFT locals are typically teachers who leave the classroom. I don’t know about FEA, but I believe the FCFT president is basically paid at what his or her teaching salary would have been, plus additional days in the contract based on that same rate. [b]FCPS does not pay union leaders.[/quote][/b]

Who pays for the paid time off to go to meetings?  Pretty sure that was in the contract.[/quote]

I’m not sure what you mean. If the presidents are on leave from the classroom they don’t need time off.

Their salaries are paid by their unions.

It's not just the presidents:

"Union Leave 
Union Officials shall be permitted a cumulative total of 1,600 hours per contract year of paid 
leave for Union Business and Representational Purposes. Union Business shall mean union 
training and educational conferences, regional and national meetings, and professional 
development. Representational Purposes shall mean representation of Employees in 
disciplinary meetings pursuant to this Agreement, processing grievances, and attending 
meetings between management and the Union. 
Upon a showing of good cause, the Division shall grant a total of up to 400 additional hours 
per contract year, based on written request from the Union. Requests for additional hours 
must be made in increments of no more than 200 hours each.  "

By my figures, that comes out to 40 weeks of paid leave for union  members (not per individual).  That comes out to a year of paid leave total paid for by FCPS.  Also can ask for additional 200 hour increments.

That is a year's worth of subs.
No leave hours granted by this section shall carry over into the next year. [/quote]
