Another union is upset with Columbia Public Schools.
A team from the teachers union, the Columbia Missouri National Education Association, has been in collective bargaining sessions with a district bargaining team. The negotiations have not gone smoothly.
Another district team, with some of the same members, has been in collective bargaining sessions with the Laborers’ International Union of North America Local 773 which is seeking to represent CPS custodians.
The fledgling local union is trying to organize workers, but union officials say the district’s strategy in negotiations is to try to bust the union before it gets off the ground. They have 53 signed union cards and potentially 170 members.

It really is in the best interest of business/industry in that it would insulate it from most job action litigation.
But, too many, in management think managing its workforce is a too hard.
