San Francisco public school teachers filed an unfair labor practice complaint Monday over the district's ongoing failure to fix a months-long payroll fiasco.
The United Educators of San Francisco, the teachers' union, filed the complaint with the California Public Employees Relations Board alleging that San Francisco Unified School District has failed to live up to its contract agreement and has denied and interfered with teachers' rights.
"Far from streamlining payroll and eliminating errors as intended, the District's new EMPower system has been an unmitigated disaster from the start," according to the complaint."Hundreds of UESF bargaining unit members have been unpaid, underpaid, and/or incorrectly stripped of benefits since the District first began using its EMPower system. These errors continue to the present day.
The payroll troubles have resulted in serious harm to many teachers, some of whom have struggled to pay rent or provide basic necessities like food and clothing for themselves and their families, union officials said in a news release Tuesday. Also on Monday, Superintendent Matt Wayne declared a"payroll state of emergency," intended to help the district resolve the problem.
