Due Process?
If not for the Washington Teachers Union, whatever would we do for entertainment?
In 2003, we had the Barbara Bullock scandal.
In 2006, we learned WTU office manager Gwendolyn Hemphill was being stalked by the Zuni Fetish Warrior from a ’70s-era TV movie.
In 2008, then-WTU vice president Nathan A. Saunders accused then-president George Parker and a handful of other WTU officials of embezzlement and racketeering.
Last year, Saunders challenged and defeated Parker for the WTU presidency, but not before the election prompted an attempt by AFT to impose an administratorship, which was blocked by court order.
Now Saunders has suspended without pay vice president (and popular blogger) Candi Peterson for walking out of a meeting.
Peterson told The Washington Examiner that Saunders “verbally abused” her and spoke to her “like how you would talk to a dog.”
“We’re a union, we represent people, but here we are reprimanding someone without any type of progressive discipline, discussion, or dialogue,” she said. “We would fight against the very same thing if it happened to one of our members.”
