Agora cyber charter school is way ahead of us in the organizing a union. They have posted 1500 times on the PSEA discussion board. Over time these BLOG posts have changed. It seems that the teachers formed a separate organization from the union called AEEA. Since then another association started under the title VOA. The union seems to be using this a means to prolong the recruitment process instead of leaving them alone. This is a lot like the recent good intentions of many teachers who are attempting to avert a union by forming a teachers association. Will there be a splinter group in the future that will develop from the teacher association? The union will applaud these efforts. They want employees to continue thinking about organizing against management.
The first link below is the Agora PSEA discussion board. The second link shows clearly from a simple Google search that the PSEA is for removing state wide charter schools. To me this is the bottom line. Teacher unions are the largest political contributors in most states. A union perspective would not reflect the views of the majority of the stakeholders in our school. My recommendation is to boycott the PALCS PSEA union discussion board. I made one post on that board. That was enough. If we really want to stop the buzz to organize, then we should stop organizing the buzz.
PSEA opposes state authorized charter schools.
