By Perry Stein Perry Stein Reporter covering D.C. education Email Bio Follow April 23 at 4:45 PM Employees at a D.C. charter school are attempting to unionize, a rare move that would make the 115 teachers and staff members the biggest union of charter school workers to ever form in the District.
The employees, who want a pay raise, say they are stretched thin, with too many responsibilities to effectively identify and address students’ needs.“We are hoping that our voices will be included in the decision-making process in Mundo Verde,” said Amber Walson, a music teacher at the school. “We love our school, we want to collaborate, we want to live the values that our school promotes.”
The efforts to unionize at Mundo Verde had been quietly underway for months, but organizers encountered a hurdle last week when the school administration failed to voluntarily recognize the union by a deadline set by staff members. [D.C.’s only unionized charter school filed another federal labor complaint — this time as its shutting down.]
Some parents have rallied behind the union. Pamphlets about the union drive that were distributed to parents and administrators quote eight parents who support the efforts.
This is exactly what we need. More union power demanding pay/benefits which are entirely unsustainable for the long haul. We can absorb all of the current unfunded liabilities, at the same time that we forgive all student debt..

How Trump factors into California's charter school warsNot only are California charter schools schools facing fierce opposition from the Democratic-controlled Legislature and teachers unions, they also have the most politically toxic ally possible in their state politics: Donald Trump This article is not biased at all. 🙄🙄 Quick questions: are public schools in CA meeting standards? What are graduation rates? Average GPA’s? Class size ratios of student / teacher? If ’s are low, standards not met, then I’m all for charter / parochial schools! Charter schools don't work and do nothing but waste money that could be used to help the public school system. Shut them down.
