本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛今天TORONTO STAR，刊登了家长呼吁信，说教育委员TRUSTEES候选人中有２２人接受教师工会支持。
家长们担心如果这些人当选，他们首先考虑和保护的是学校老师和工会的利益，不是学生和纳税人的利益。在以前选举中，接受工会支持的候选人要签定保证书保证支持工会利益。
下面是接受工会支持候选人的名单, 和家长呼吁信。
看了一下，我要选的委员正在其中，立即决定不选他了，呵呵。
名单和呼吁信供大家参考。选谁不选谁是每个人自由。

呼吁信
Open letter opposing union involvement
Dear Parents and Voters in Toronto:
There is a new development in the history of the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). We are writing to alert parents and residents across Toronto that CUPE and the teacher unions are trying to take control of TDSB’s board and its $2.2 billion budget of public money.
They are running a slate of 21 candidates for the 22 Trustee positions. If even 12 of these candidates win, CUPE and the teachers unions will effectively control TDSB.
And you can bet that their primary concern isn’t the well-being of students or taxpayers – it is to protect their jobs.
In fact, to get an union endorsement in the last election candidates were asked to sign a pledge that, regardless of the circumstances, would force them to vote against any proposal that: closed a school, contracted out a service, or educed the number of union jobs.
CUPE and the teachers unions have done this under cover of the so-called “Campaign for Public Education” (CPE). The union leadership is using their members’ dues to defeat trustees that many of their members strongly support.
CUPE and the teachers unions are providing money and “volunteers” to help their candidates. And CPE has run misleading US-style attack ads against the nine independent-minded Trustees running for re-election (we urge you to support them – their names and ridings are listed below.)
Even if you don’t have children in public schools, we suspect that this alarms you as much as it alarms us.
We believe that no union should control, or unduly influence, its employer’s Board. we urge you to join with us to defeat this effort by TDSB unions to dominate the elected board of an important public body. This issue is not just a Toronto issue; we are also seeing similar attempts in other Boards更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
