Dallas Local 100 Goes to Bat for Members Cheated out of Seniority Because of NEA |
 |

Richard Pritchett has worked as a dispatcher and bus driver in Dallas County Schools since 1980 and had accrued 27 years of seniority. A few years ago, the NEA used its influence to get the seniority policy changed to exclude time not spent as a Driver for purposes of Seniority and raises.
The NEA and DCS didn’t grandfather employees like Richard and he automatically lost 12 years seniority which meant a big pay cut because bus routes, field trips and pay raises are based on seniority. The policy change put him behind people who have been there half the time he has.
Local 100 is asking for an amendment to the policy that will grandfather Richard and any others in the same situation and give everyone full seniority.
Local 100 has met with the head of HR and the Chief Financial Officer, has asked for a meeting with the Superintendent and will meet with the School Board president next.
