Over the next couple of days, I will give details of a battle that has been waged with FUSD for a number of years regarding proper placement on the salary scale for units that are in compliance with the Bargaining Agreement. In addition, the denial of these units has been a clearly stated example of discrimination.
Inasmuch as I have been approached by countless individuals within the "flock" of FUSD ranks to pursue this matter of having this made RIGHT, I am now doing so, and have been attempting to do so privately with FUSD officials for years . . . to no avail. Everyone has recognized that an issue such as this does not just involve me personally, but rather represents a philosophy of business methods that can and, indeed, is affecting all employees who are remaining as quiet as lambs being led to slaughter.
Numerous appeals have been made for years, including a demand letter from the FTA legal representative, with no resolution even being offered. I'm hearing that FUSD's usual method for handling even clear-cut cases like this is to stall, ignore, pass-the-buck to underlings, etc. until an actual lawsuit is filed or the injured party just gives up and goes away.
Please post any such experience(s) you have had with FUSD in an effort at this time to bring such practices into the arena of public scrutiny. Even "lambs" have a right to be heard!
