Tonight the #rva school board dealt a serious blow to collective bargaining in Richmond Public Schools. Their public facing message outlined the need for mutual compromise but they made sure the unions knew that they weren't required to take any public feedback into consideration on this topic.
School Board votes yes on changes to collective bargaining procedures

Those in favor of the change noted that they did not hear specifics on what changes union members were upset with during public comment.
