The 2008 probationary teachers arbitration ruling is being appealed. If you have specific questions, email helpdesk@wtulocal6.net Thanks,<br /><br />CandiCandi Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266880795971626269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097158142844550473.post-819492568011661452011-04-16T11:23:56.634-04:002011-04-16T11:23:56.634-04:00Thanks Lodesterre for your support!Thanks Lodesterre for your support!Candi Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266880795971626269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097158142844550473.post-9016859622438951642011-04-16T11:21:46.173-04:002011-04-16T11:21:46.173-04:00Moderated Reply To Anonymous at 2:38

We discussed this in our WTU meetings that other protests and actions are on the horizon building up to June. We are just getting started and hope you will be supportive of all upcoming events. <br /><br />__________________________________________________ A post from Anonymous @ 2:38 PM<br />Hmm.

That way you will receive information directly from WTU. We sent the flyers out electronically to members in our data base.I also sent out information to many people personally from my own email account.<br /><br />Ask your colleagues to call into our office 202-293-8600 and leave their updated email and phone numbers as well so that they can receive robo calls from the WTU as well.Candi Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266880795971626269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097158142844550473.post-64222677109589277252011-04-15T07:49:49.415-04:002011-04-15T07:49:49.415-04:00Candi, I hope all goes well today.

We have also received a great deal of support from other unions and community organizations.<br /><br />We had more than a quorum at our WTU Rep assembly and it went to 7 pm. Sorry you didn't make it.<br /><br />Rather than looking at the glass as half full- why not spread the word and I welcome you to come down to the WTU office this evening at 6:30 pm to help out our committee.

I talked to several teachers at my school who had not even heard about it. <br /><br />Is the WTU just relying on e-mails? Does it have e-mails for all of its members?<br /><br />I really hope there is a good showing, otherwise it will really hurt us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097158142844550473.post-45712326271993627272011-04-13T23:02:36.732-04:002011-04-13T23:02:36.732-04:00I will be there with my new union t-shirt.I will be there with my new union t-shirt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
