Union Free School District Question....

This may be a dumb question - What are the negatives, if any, to working in a Union Free school district? What will that mean for a teacher?
Thanks everyone :)

I thought it meant you don't have to pay union dues.

The Union Free title does not have to do with the teachers' union. It has to do with the type of charter the state issued the district. The district can be Union Free, Common or Central. HTH!

I thought that it meant you had the option of NOT joining the Union if thats what you so choose....but maybe I am wrong....

Yes this is what it means

Like Westbury is Union Free because it encompasses just Westbury

New Hyde Park-Garden City Park or Sachem is not because it encompasses different towns

You always have the option of not joining the Union. No one can force you to join. However, you can be required to pay the equivalent of union dues.
