Big Labor’s War on Parent Volunteers: Just Send the $$$$’s
Parents with children attending El Marino Language School in Culver City, California are up in arms, as a local union wants to force the unionization parent volunteers at the local public schools. Parents have formed non-profit booster clubs to fundraise for and hire part-time teacher’s helpers, who also mostly come from the ranks of the parents themselves.
