NORTH PLATTE — Para-professionals in the North Platte school system have voted to unionize.

The newly organized bargaining unit, North Platte Education Association - Para-professionals will be affiliated with the Nebraska State Education Association.

Mark McGuire, a lawyer who helped the para-professionals through the process, said the results of the vote were strong.

“It clearly showed the employees wanted a union,” he said.

1. I didn't join my union

Why? Because they do nothing but rubber stamp anything adminstration wants. Throwing away money for nothing. I don't think the NEA in FLORIDA is much better, especially in Collier. I am from NY and can see the difference. My Dad was ILA, and night and day the union comparisons.
