However, I communicated with Greg Rusovich earlier- who shared with me some troubling info. Apparently, Chunlin and others,very naively, have been making the rounds pushing a case for unionization at Lusher..:l do not know why, but I can only suspect why? What is troubling to me is that Chunlin has been arguing a position of neutrality and admonishing the board, administration and non-union folks for expressing their views...but privately seeking audiences with members of the community encouraging a pro-union position. I wanted to share this info with you all- and certainly allow you all to form your own opinion...but I trust Greg. And am certain he has no reason to lie to me, additionally he did share that what peaked his suspicions was, not only the prounion rant of a charter school board member, but the over the top, biased, and factually incorrect information that was being related by a Board member as board gospel!

My assessment of your disingenuous statement:3 is clear, and i view your public position as completely contradictory to helping our parents and children progress. We have fought way too hard over the last decade to improve the education of our children to sit back and watch unions pour into our community and devastate our progress on behalf of education bureaucrats. And you see, our community has been committed to improving children's education, not on serving a national union agenda.

Some additional context for our conversation: I met Greg together with my colleague Jim Kiebba at a private breakfast meeting related to my job as the director of the 1.1..M. program on April 26, to discuss the scholarship that his family has created In honor of his father for a law student of Serbian decent to study at our ILK program. That scholarship is what Greg is threatening cancei right now. During the meeting, the topic came up about Luther end the union petion. Greg mentioned to me that he is a good friend of Kathy's. I mentioned to him that Kathy is probably unhappy with me because I acivo(;ateri for the voluntary recognition of the union. I explained to Greg that i took that approach because I felt that the cost of a contentious election is too high and since majority of the teachers wanted to be recognized, it would be better to avoid a nasty fight. I remember Greg commenting that that was a reasonable approach. That is why I was shocked by his claims in his email. Rick,just for Me record, I have never taken a pro union position, either privately or publicly. For me, it was always a cost/benefit analysis. i am a very pragmatic person and don't believe in fighting useless battles, especially where it could hurt us. In fact, the first question I asked when we met the attorney on this issue was: can we address the employee concerns privately without the union? The answer was: Too late. in my memo that I circulated to the Board, I pointed out that the unionization increases transaction cost and in an ideal world, we could do without a union. When the teachers presented their petition, it was too late for us to try to do anything. My position has always been trying to prevent a not ideal situation from getting worse.

I will respond to your objections in more detail at the meeting. Here are a couple of things just to avoid confusion on this issue: 1. As a Board member, am entitled to place a motion on the agenda under our By-laws. 2. Your comments reflect a confusion about the role of the Board of Directors. Our By-laws vest all the powers in the Board of Directors. The Board is the governing entity and has the fiduciary duty to adopt any necessary and appropriate policies in the best interests of Lusher. The administrators are supposed to follow the Board policies. The Board in this case adopted the neutrality policy to ensure a fair election. The administrators have to implement the policy, not to violate them. 3. The Lusher teachers (unlike the administrators) are not charged with the duty to implement the Board's policies. They can exercise their individual right to unionize, a right guaranteed by federal law and the U.S. Constitution. I am happy to discuss this more at the meeting.

The board took a neutrality position NOT the administration. The UTL and AFT (and the employees of the Corporation who support a union) have certainly not taken a neutrality position and are being assisted and guided by the AFT, UTNO and UTL. Why should a segment of the school (pro-union) be allowed to not take a neutral position and wage a campaign against the non-union sect of the school....Are the non-union employees to be required to abstain from any involvement or participation in forming their opinions supposed to go at it alone? Either scenario would be absurd and unrealistic... Is the management of the Corporation (also employees) not allowed to inform all of the employees of the Corporation as to their concerns/ should the customers (students and parents) of the Corporation not be allowed to be informed by the management of the Corporation? Look, I have made no secret of the fact that I personally do not believe a union is good for Lusher...although, I agreed that a fair election should be allowed to determine the desires of the majority.

If the administration is running afoul of their operational duties and responsibilities then we should take action immediately...but injecting the board's neutrality position into a campaign which, in my opinion, is primarily being expected to be waged one way only by UTNO and the AFT is just plain wrong.

However, I do want to be clear that I do not agree with having a meeting Saturday. I can not understand why the Union would be so unwilling to give us the time to fully vet the issues, or why our decision making process, in some measure, should be dictated by the Union. If this is any indication of how they will behave...then I can only imagine what the CBA negotiations will be like. If indeed they want to petition the NLRB, absent a vote of the board, then by all means they should. Rueben, clearly there is a divide among the teachers...why would we not want to encourage a ballot vote of the teachers decide? Frankly, one could reasonably argue that our responsibility as a board is not to accept a petition based on the information or lack thereof received. I believe meeting Saturday will not only raise the rancor, increase the already high levels of anxiety among the teachers (both sides), solve no issues-- but will leave us, unbearably, as the uninformed endorsers of one side's views over another amongst our teacher community. I personally do not see that as my role.

We have a responsibility to the school to address the situation that has been presented. Should we vote not to recognize, the teachers will know where they stand and can move forward to an election, with the principal argumentation being directed toward one another. Should we vote to recognize, the community as a whole can move forward together with that outcome. In either case, we will have added some focus to the situation. While I share the concerns about our imperfect knowledge,I don't think another week or weeks will perfect our understanding. By failing to hold a meeting, I think we would be sending a signal of chaos and lack of governance in a moment in which the exact opposite signal is called for.

It's the union not allowing us time to make measured decisions. We don't even have a meeting scheduled for our parents yet and their views need to be considered. I least I believe they do. I need time to think about this and to consider all of the information we gather. I don't think a few days is enou If we learn that there is a good majority of the faculty that want this, that will affect my view If we don't have reliable information about that, I don't think we should meet.
