GFT sent a follow up letter to the Director of the Department of Administration (DOA), Benita Manglona, regarding the Unfair Labor Practice charge filed on May 10, 2012.  GFT has yet to receive a response from DOA.  DOE Acting Superintendent directed unilateral changes to the teachers’ working hours outside of the bargaining process.  GFT and DOE are still in contract bargaining and the changes in working hours are not changes that have been agreed upon.  Should there be no response from DOA in one week; GFT will proceed to the next step of action which is to file a petition of writ of mandate in court in order to obtain a response.
