Weingarten Rights & Due Process

As a public school employee you may encounter situations where disciplinary action is taken against you. Remember, you have rights and you need to use them.

Understanding Collective Bargaining

Collective bargaining gives Idaho educators a unified voice in shaping their working conditions, compensation, and professional expectations. This page explains your rights under Idaho law, how negotiations work at the local level, and why strong, member-driven bargaining is essential for protecting educators and strengthening public schools.
