UPDATE: Notice to All Members Employed at School District 34
The School Board has agreed to continue bargaining for the two previously scheduled days in November.
This is good news for us.
As we write bargaining is at a standstill, due to job action by the teachers. The parties had dates set for July which the District cancelled. The Union tried to set dates in August but the District was unavailable. Although bargaining in July and August don't normally happen, the Union anticipated that any type of job action by the teachers may have limited our ability to bargain during the school year. The Union is currently trying to work with the District to find other options to set bargaining dates.
