Teachers and support staff at a Columbus-based charter school have started the organizing process and plan to join the state’s largest teachers’ union, the Ohio Education Association, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
Only about seven percent of charter schools were unionized in 2012, down from 12 percent in 2009, according to a 2014 annual survey by the Center for Education Reform, a Washington-based school choice advocacy and research group.
