BREAKING NEWS: Central Falls Union Votes No Confidence in Gallo
Wednesday, June 01, 2011
A second union in the Central Falls School District has held a vote of no confidence in Superintendent Frances Gallo and the Board of Trustees.
This evening, members of Local 1627 of Council 94 AFSCME voted 63 to 3 against Gallo’s leadership, according to union president Connie Dube.
“Local 1627’s vote of no confidence sends a strong message from our teacher assistants, custodians, bus drivers, secretaries and clerks that the Superintendent and School Board’s actions of ignoring safety concerns, retaliating against employees who question the effectiveness of programs, and targeting members because of their union affiliation are damaging Central Falls’ educational system,” said John Burns, a business agent for the union. “Local 1627 urges the Superintendent and Board of Trustees to work with all school employees to build a school system with a brighter future.”
