Negotiations Update

Since my last post on the issue of the D11 labor union negotiations, Bob Null has managed to get himself on the district negotiating team. This is a big victory for Bob, who believes that the school board, being a party to the agreement, should probably be allowed to know what is happening in negotiations.

This is just a beginning for Bob and openness in public school contract talks. While Bob will be inside the negotiating room, you can be sure that the labor union leaders will use current contract language to prevent any new ideas from reaching the point of discussion. Fortunately, Bob will likely be the type who will bring this to the public's attention, meaning that he will be a marked man afterwards for daring to challenge the labor union's hold on the D11 tax payers. Unfortunately for Bob, the labor union has a lackey on the administration team. Dave Schenkel does more bidding for the labor union than he does for the residents of D11.

All that said, good job to Bob Null for taking this first step in holding the D11 labor union accountable to the public that pays its members' wages.
