Three board members proposed three separate ballot questions, each chipping away at what have been traditional district-union relationships in the affluent county south of Denver.Three Superb Ideas
- Should the district be prohibited from using public funding for the compensation of union leaders?
- Should the district be prohibited from collecting union dues from employee paychecks on the union’s behalf?
- Should the district be prohibited from engaging in collective bargaining with the union?
Board members are expected to vote at their Sept. 4 meeting on which of the questions – or all or none of them – to place before voters on Nov. 6. School boards have until Sept. 7 to submit ballot language to their county elections officials.
Hopefully this is the start of a trend because those are three superb ideas. I commend the board members for those ideas.
Willfully dealing with public unions when you don't have to is blatantly stupid. Unions are 100% guaranteed to increase costs and reduce productivity, then demand tax hikes on top of it, while whining the whole while "it's for the kids"
The clear-cut way to do something for the kids would be to eliminate the unions and pass some of the saving on to hire more teachers.
