Teachers union head fails to sign participation agreement | Los Angeles Wave - Community News, Sports & Entertainment | Lynwood Press


Teachers union head fails to sign participation agreement Los Angeles Wave - Community News, Sports & Entertainment Lynwood Press:

"A handful of teachers have been challenging the results of the July 15 election. A majority of teachers who voted approved a 3 percent pay cut for the entire union, one furlough day and a change in their healthcare benefits.

The disgruntled teachers are angry because less than 400 of the nearly 900 members of the LTA cast ballots. They were on record as planning to file a duty of fair representation charge against their own union had Zolfaghari signed the contract agreement with South Counties Employer Employee Trust."
