[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it sounds like the gist is that the WTU organized and got themselves a contracted increase.

Charter system advocates consider non-unionization a feature, not a bug, so their lack of organization and not getting pay increases should be considered part of their model of operations. If staff costs are the primary expense in DCPS and PCS and PCS aren't unionized, why should you expect parity?

WTU negotiates and somehow they are supposed to translate that into a gimme for PCS teachers they didn't work for?[/quote]

This. They constantly sh*t-talk the union, but they want the raise the union negotiates. Having it both ways must be nice.[/quote]

I'm in a charter and have never sh*t-talked the union. In fact, there are teachers that go back and forth between charters and the union. But I guess only unionized teachers should be treated well?? Besides, there are unionized charter teachers in two or three places in DC but with no additional funding they won't get any more even with the supposed power of negotiation.[/quote]

Then you need to unionize with sufficient power to negotiate for what WTU has. You can’t expect a union to negotiate on behalf of non- union members or management to offer better terms for an entirely separate workforce out of the goodness of it’s heart.

- Management who doesn’t get the union negotiated raises my staff get until the pay discrepancy becomes too big to ignore.[/quote]
