This past summer, the #SheridanCO school district proposed a new contract with the teachers’ union that stripped away essentially all rights of the union to accomplish anything. The union obviously rejected the contract and the district, instead of negotiating with the union, decided to let the existing contract expire and painted the union as unwilling to negotiate.

Sheridan School District No. 2 faces tension as teachers push for union re-recognition

The Sheridan Educators Association (SEA) said it was "blindsided" when the district refused to honor tentative agreements reached. The district has said that's not true.

I haven’t seen much about this, so I want to spread awareness that #SheridanCO teachers are currently unrepresented by a bargaining unit and have uncapped class sizes, amongst other abuses. #Colorado #Denver #Sheridan #WorkersRights #Union #Teachers #TeachersRights

The school district of #SheridanCO said that before contract negotiations could begin, the teachers’ union must permit that “There will be no strike, picketing, picket line observance, … by members of the association which impairs the classroom performance of the members of the association… Any person who engages in such actions may be subject to immediate discharge or other discipline.”
