Discussion: All this to get fair union representation
We start here with some realistic ideas. PLEASE add YOURS. Mine; first we open informal discussions with AFT and the nearest southern California Branch. After reading the details of NEA's agreement with the almighty AFL-CIO, the two aren't as close as they would have you believe on the CTA web site. In fact it appears that the AFL-CIO has only promised to follow a certain procedure in taking over NEA locals. It is clear they maintain the right to take them from NEA and their state affiliates (CTA) pretty much as deemed needed per this procedure. As i was looking for the site with that proclamation. I see it has disappeared. The NEA and for us the CEA are not as big but seem to have a REAL democratic approach with regards to their members. PLUS they are a direct affiliate of AFL-CIO. Finally, if we like what we hear. We can kiss (figuratively please) and the left overs of our once fine local... GOODBYE. Afterwards.
THE FOLLOWING IS THE PROCEDURE TO DECERTIFY OR DEAUTHORIZE A COLLLECTIVE BARGAINING ORGANIZATION (it further breaks my heart that I had to use resources from several right-wing idiots, humiliation on top of loosing so many of our fine people):
California
Decertification: The procedures for decertifying an exclusive bargaining representative depend on whether the employee is covered by the Educational Employee Relations Act (EERA) (public schools and community colleges); the Dills Act (state employees); the Higher Education Employer-Employee Act (HEERA) (state universities); or the Meyers-Milias Brown Act (MMBA) (cities and counties). See http://www.perb.ca.gov/laws/default.asp
If the employee is covered by the EERA, the Dills Act, or the HEERA, then a decertification petition is filed with the California Public Employment Relations Commission (PERB), available at:
http://www.perb.ca.gov/forms_pubs/pdfs/decertpet.pdf
Persons must file a decertification petition with the appropriate PERB regional office per PERB Regulation 32075, and must accompany said petition with proof of support of at least 30% of the employees in the established bargaining unit.
If the employee is covered by the MMBA, then decertification elections are determined and processed in accordance with the rules adopted by the local city or county agency. See California Government Code Section 3507.1.
Deauthorization: California law has provisions which provide for recission (deauthorization) of Public school (K-12) and community college employees. Educators can file a petition for recission of the fair share fee provision with the appropriate PERB regional office (see PERB Regulation 32075). To obtain a Recission Petition see the PERB website at:
http://www.perb.ca.gov/forms_pubs/forms.asp
and scroll down, then click on EERA Fair Share Fee Recission Petition.
