Teachers’ Labor Cost and Post Negotiation
The President of the Washington Teachers’ Union has told members that he hopes to have details of a proposed contract ready for their review after they return from spring break on April 6, a sign that the negotiations that began in late 2007 might be coming to an end. In an e-mail to teachers Wednesday night, George Parker said the union is "finalizing discussions" with the D. C. school system on a tentative agreement, which is expected to include a 20 percent salary increase over five years, a voluntary pay-for-performance plan and increased latitude for Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee to fire or reassign teachers. "There still are a few technical issues we are working to resolve, but I hope to have an announcement and details on the new tentative agreement ready when you return from spring break," he wrote.
Parker could not be reached Thursday to comment. Rhee said the two sides are " getting closer " but stopped short of confirming Parker’s timetable. The lengthy talks have been marked by several points at which agreement seemed near. "I don’t feel that in good conscience I can say anything and have credibility," Rhee said.
Several hurdles remain before the labor deal is finalized, including ratification by the union’s rank-and-file members and the D.C. Council. Prior to that, D. C. Chief Financial Officer Natwar M. Gandhi must certify that money for raises is available. Rhee is expected to fund a significant portion of the raises with donations from private foundations. A Gandhi spokesman said Thursday that the office has yet to receive any information from Rhee.
During the talks, Rhee has refused to name the donors or discuss details of their commitments. Sources have said over the past two years that possible contributors include the Broad Foundations and the Walton Family Foundation. Asked how transparent she is prepared to be with Gandhi about the sources of the private money, Rhee responded: "Totally. " "We are operating under the assumption that he would need to have all of that," she said.
Parker and Rhee both have every incentive to wrap up the contract. Parker faces a challenge from WTU General Vice President Nathan Saunders in union elections scheduled for May. Without a deal that puts more money in teachers’ pockets, he could face a tough race. In Saunders, Rhee would be dealing with a new union president who has been among her most bitter critics.
The contract talks have been viewed nationally as a potentially precedent-setting showdown. The talks pit Rhee—who seeks to limit seniority-based job security for teachers—against Randi Weingarten, president of the politically potent American Federation of Teachers, the WTU’s parent organization, who wants to protect her member yet still position the union as a force for reform.
As to the donors, Rhee______.
选项
A、will let Gandhi to make the final decision
B、will keep them secret before her talk with Gandhi
C、has already talked about them with Gandhi secretly
D、prefers the Broad Foundations and the Walton Family Foundation
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。根据题干关键词the donors和Rhee定位到第四段。该段首句提及Rhee has refused to name the donors,再结合倒数第二句可知,在与Gandhi谈话之前,Rhee将对捐助者保密,由此可推知[B]含义与之相符,故为正确答案。由该段倒数第二句可知,她只是会对Gandhi毫不保留,并不是由Gandhi决定捐助者,故排除[A];由上文第三段末句可知,她还没有与Gandhi接洽,故排除[C];由该段第二句可知,这两个基金只是大家的猜测,Rhee对捐助者是保密的,故排除[D]。
