Union?

What has your union leadership done for you lately?

  • Devastated union solidarity with a tiered health care system
  • Increased K-3 class size to 31 students
  • Given families a 10.3% - 17% pay cut PER YEAR
  • Rigged elections
  • Made you set up your classrooms on your own time due to furlough days
  • Allowed a 38 student class size average in secondary Math, ELD, Social Studies, Science,  and English classes
  • Forced experienced teachers to retire early
  • Cost members dozens of jobs
  • Ignored or manipulated By-Laws when it was convenient
  • Turned their backs on a 93% STRIKE authorization voted on by 98% of the membership
  • Stopped fighting for us

    STUDY YOUR PAYCHECK ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 2010.
    Has our new contract benefited you?

    EVERY ONE OF US
    has been affected by
    a devastating contract that was
    voted on by only 45% of the membership,
    ratified by only 23% of our members,
    and passed by only 8 votes
    on only ONE DAY of voting.
    VOTE IN MARCH
    to make deep and powerful changes
    TO REPLACE OUR UNION LEADERSHIP
    Challenge our president’s 35 years on the UTR Executive Board!
