Seriously, someone ought to talk to a lawyer about this. Most lawyers will do a 15 minute free consult to determine whether it is worth talking further. But the press is cheaper, and it is amazing what bad publicity wills sometimes do.
It's a real burden being right so often.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Since there is a union involved, there are collective bargaining issues. Single folks may be barred from bringing suit in the case of a union disagreement.
But obviously, your union dues are being pissed away for the lack of representation you've gotten on this, Kat.

Seriously. I'm not sure who pisses me off more: the district or the union.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I swear I saw a poster in a bus stop that referred to the teacher's pay idiocy.
I know of the endorphins and miss them greatly. It's been a while.
And today is not a good day, so I think I'm going back to sleep.

Which a lawyer might know about. Fore example does the Union have an enforceable legal duty they are not carrying out (as opposed to a moral or common sense one which may not be legally binding)?
But even if there is no legal remedy, I can think of a lot cases where bad publicity has made the bad guys back down. And in this case the district is answerable to an elected school board...

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I want a pizza and red wine diet.
Ooh, I've done that one! You don't lose any weight, but it's really easy to stick to.

I'm trying really, really hard to avoid high fructose corn syrup.
I have found that's a help in not buying empty calories, because somehow it's easier for me to think "I'm not buying that because of HFC" than "I'm not buying that because I'll eat it all." Generally I'm a pretty healthy eater, although I can also overdo the portions. Also, there's beer. I am not aided by a lifetime of dieting, since I now have the metabolism of a tranquilized tree sloth.

I'm telling that to my Doc at my next appointment.

Ahahah. Yes, me too. Actually, I know it'd be better if I just ate more, and more frequently (as backwards as that sounds.) I mean, I ate 3 whole meals a day, including heart-attack-with-a-kick cheese rellenos, cheesy enchiladas, chile cheesburgers, cranberry-nut "bread" (really, more cakey, ) banana bread, cheesecake, assorted adulterated nuts, chorizo, egg and cheese burritos, tamales, ham and lots of wine for about a week....and I dropped 5 lbs.
But that's...work and effort in my day-to-day.
