Ep. 22 - TheFYRE Podcast: Union's Not AAA

Season 1, Episode 6394,   Jun 27, 2023, 01:59 AM

In this episode, we are joined by Rob Kriete (he/him), President of the Hillsborough Classroom Teacher Association, along with our friend from across the bay, Emily Griest (she/her). During our discussion, Kriete and Griest enlighten us on the details of their recent labor victory—a two-year struggle with a contractual impasse. Together, explore the pros and cons of this commonly feared union challenge and explore its strategic significance within the collective bargaining process. Later, we engage in speculation about the future of public education in the Tampa Bay area, examining the far-reaching implications for teachers across the state of Florida. #PCTA #FYREPodcast #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #pinellasteachers #teachersunion
