Arbitrators protect pervert teachers

And, like too many other arbitrators, Edelman makes it a priority to find ways to keep teachers in classrooms, with little apparent consideration of the impact on schools or students.

This is most evident, and troubling, in sexual misconduct cases.

In a breakthrough 2005 agreement, the union and DOE inserted language into the teachers contract stipulating “a mandatory penalty of discharge” to any union member “found by a hearing officer to have engaged in sexual misconduct.”

It appears the former liberal news reader made this a gender issue.

So long as the union is permitted approval of the arbitrator and management has no real downside in the ‘game’, this is what to expect. The Teacher’s union is there to protect their members and the school administration wants to do what bureaucrats always want to do, sleep!
