PERB's Robert Thompson worked with CTA's Beverly Tucker on the
Turlock case.
Turlock case.
San Diego
Education Report
Education Report
The Turlock case
The Turlock case was about
CTA members wearing buttons
in the classroom to campaign
against the efforts of teachers
to have another union replace
CTA in the Turlock School District.
The administrative law judge at the
Public Employees Relations Board
(PERB) ruled against the teachers.
The judge's decision was clearly
correct, since the California Court
of Appeal had decided the
question of campaign buttons in
the classroom in a case from San
Diego. But the PERB board
overruled its own judge. When
Turlock School District appealed,
Bob Thompson, general counsel at
PERB joined with CTA head lawyer
Beverly Tucker to fight the appeal.
They lost.
But Bob Thompson and Beverly
Tucker did prove that they care
more about the power of those
who control CTA than they care
about the taxpayers or children
of California. How did they prove
this? They used tax dollars to fight
this self-serving lawsuit during the
2003 budget crisis in California.
Bev and Bob lost; the decision is
HERE. So what did they do then?
They appealed to the state
supreme court and lost again.
These are truly vexatious litigants.]
