By signing this petition, you are supporting the Prince William Education Association (PWEA), who are blazing the advocacy trail for ALL PWCS STAFF by leading the Collective Bargaining efforts in PWCS. 

The PWCS School Board has chosen to give ALL POWER to school division leadership to independently draft the Collective Bargaining Resolution.  Staff input, directly from PWEA, is absolutely necessary and is critical throughout this entire process. All changes listed below MUST appear as amendments prior to passing the resolution at the October 19th School Board Meeting.   PWEA believes the elected officials who passed this policy (PWCS School Board) are solely responsible for amending the Resolution without delay.

THESE 3 ITEMS MUST BE AMENDED, BY THE PWCS SCHOOL BOARD, TO ENSURE PWCS EDUCATORS AND STAFF RECEIVE A FAIR AND MEANINGFUL RESOLUTION:

1. REMOVE the School Division’s requirement that elections include 50% of eligible voters instead of employees who actually participate in the election.   
2. TRANSPARENCY to include more specific language related to the job titles for each bargaining unit and include ALL employees who DO NOT have decision making authority equal rights through Collective Bargaining. 
3. STAFF deserves the right to meaningful bargaining, to include work rules, job duties, evaluations, benefits, and health/safety regulations.   

Our educators deserve a meaningful seat at the table throughout this entire process.  Without their input, the Resolution is unfair and will not offer teachers and staff the protection they deserve.
