@drivekmj.bsky.social Also, if a teacher is on leave, they do have union representation. We have associate executive directors who monitor their case and walk them through it.

@drivekmj.bsky.social in FTA, if a teacher decides to opt out, they are still represented by the contract for contractual issues. However, things like access to the lawyer and such are no longer because they're not paying dues.

@drivekmj.bsky.social mr. Slack is correct as far as local dues with FTA, but CTA California Teachers Association - and NEA – National Education Association you can opt out of your political dues portion.

@drivekmj.bsky.social not defending the diploma fiasco, but I'm a teacher at Fresno High and Misty was at that graduation yesterday.
