DTU finally ways in on the district stripping teachers of the end of the year half days

 Where is the union now that DCPS has stripped away four end-of-the-year half-days and replaced them with nothing?

I think most people understand my issues, that staff wasn't consulted, and whether people like them or not, staff was given something that was then taken away with nothing in return. I bet some staff hates those four half days; I am not a fan of the ones during the year. I can acknowledge that, but at the end of the day, if teachers and staff are partners, they should have been consulted.

So where is the union, aren't they supposed to fight for staff to ensure they get what they deserve? The answer to both questions is yes, and they have finally shown up to the party and sent out a survey.

I plan to answer yes and no, but everyone needs to participate and get everyone else to participate as well. Teachers not only need to have a voice but use it as well.   

So DTU, thanks for finally showing up, but lets try and be a little more timely next time.
