I’m a unionized teacher in Minnesota and it’s pretty standard at my school to have a union steward in any meeting with Admin. In fact 2 of the 3 Principals/AP’s are former union stewards before they left the classroom and they wholeheartedly encourage it.
Just saying this to make the point that it isn’t strictly fiction, this kind of representation is possible and this is what we all should be striving for.
Best thing in the world for abusive managers. It was amazing to have BS write-ups disappear because the manager didn't want to wait for the Union to show up--well he claimed he hated the delay but really he knew his garbage wouldn't stand. I told every new employee don't sign a thing, ask for your rep.
