UTD under attack Our voices will not be silenced
“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.” - FACT: UTD negotiates the contract on behalf of all bargaining unit members. - FACT: Our contract provides release time for union officers and union members to do union business such as: negotiating your contract, representing members, contract enforcement, dispute resolution, planning and delivering quality professional development and much more. - FACT: Union members make the best advocates for union members. If we don't fight for our contract, who will? - FACT: Union officers and union members are released to enforce the contract and resolve issues with principals and regional administrators on behalf of its members. - FACT: School Board approved the contract agreement, including the provision which releases union members to do union business. - FACT: This is a long-standing contractual provision between the United Teachers of Dade and the Miami-Dade County Public School system.
