Two points - a) not all teachers belong to the union - at least IME.
That means that not all of them - maybe even a majority of them did
NOT vote on the contract. For one thing - to belong to the union, you
have to pay dues and some teachers don't feel that they have the extra
money for that or even be anti-union.


Not in my district, and I know my mother's (in a different state) too.You do
have to pay dues and it was very expensive. Several hundered dollars/year,
IIRC. Definitly *not* an option.


I think Maryland (which is where I was) is a 'right to work' state
where it is NOT required to belong to a union. This is one of the
differences that there are from state to state.
