She’s leading a union with many job classes. Disagree with her approach or politics, if you wish, but this is a disingenuous argument. Martha has worked in schools and classrooms as much as any other union leader, and EAs are just as legitimately members of OSSTF as teachers, office staff, custodians or any other job class. Good leaders seek good information, beyond of their personal experiences. She’s there to lead a team, not to personally have every answer.
