UTD under attack
Our voices will not be silenced
As UTD fights for our contract, a school
board member uses union-busting tactics to throw dirt on negotiated
release time for union officers and its members. "This is a
union-busting tactic," UTD President Karen Aronowitz said. "It
is an attempt to silence our teachers and educational support
professionals, and limit their access to fair representation before
the District."
