Legit question: why isn't the NEA calling for a nationwide strike at this moment? What are unions if they do not exercise their power?

I often think abt this but different states have different labor laws, like if my mom walked out and striked right now she’d not only lose her job but her license to teach which is employment suicide in that field

ugh, that's awful

In New York, a rep from NYSUT told me that it's actually illegal for teachers to strike. It's in the contacts. New York is also an at-will state. So anyone can leave a job or be fired for literally anything. There are many other things we can do though.
-
Who in NYSUT told you that? I understand not wanting us to strike, but, the need to give honest info when making their case.

I wish i could remember. It was someone at their main office in Albany. Basically, all teachers in the union are contractually bound not to strike. Irritating, but there are many, many other ways we could protest during school hours that could be very effective as well.

I’m not saying a strike is a good idea. I just like to inject accurate information into the discussion.

Sounds like they are being pressed into a militia.

In california state employees including teachers must sign an oath of defense against enemies foreign and domestic. However, there is a case law decision that they cannot be compelled under this oath to commit violence. Mandatory carry would violate that precedent.

Easy way to get him to back down. All the arms and training go through the teachers unions and pay them the same as private security contractors on top of their wages.
