School Beat: District Elections Aren't What SFUSD Needs Just a few weeks ago, altering the rules of the game for who sits on the Board of Education seemed like an intriguing possibility that wasn't necessarily the top priority on anyone's list (see the March 2nd “School Beat”). But as it turns out, people have in fact been thinking about those school board positions, as indicated by a proposal out of nowhere by Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier (District 2) to amend the City's charter regarding how Board of Education members are elected...

From slave ship mutiny, to the implementation of the weekend and child labor laws won by early labor unions, to the victory of AFSCME workers for a better contract from the UC last April, labor has always found new ways to influence the decision-making bodies that impede their progress towards fair, safe, and dignified employment. Even in the wake of major social victorie...
