The labor union watchdog group Individuals for Honest Therapy represented the Westinghouse instructor who sought the vote that in the end led to the academics chopping ties with the state union.

In a press release, the group’s CEO David Osborne mentioned, “It’s extraordinarily uncommon to see academics win towards a strong union like PSEA.”

“PSEA hardly ever delivers on its guarantees to academics and ought to be held accountable,” Osborne mentioned. “As a result of the percentages are stacked towards staff and in favor of union officers in so some ways, it takes a concerted effort to do what’s proper. The academics at Westinghouse are fighters; they overcame lots to get right here.”

Individuals for Honest Therapy additionally mentioned that the PSEA had sought to strain academics on the college to “cease serving to college students after college” as a hardball negotiation tactic.
