Tam aware that this has been contentious, with multiple unfair labor practices complaints, and an injunction issued by Superior Court Judge James C. Chalfant against Alliance. Now that there are majority petitions filed at three schools, covering over 100 educators, I sincerely hope that Alliance will respect the petitioners’ wishes and begin the process of collective bargaining. As one of your partners, | know that Alliance has developed an excellent set of schools that have thrived on the good works of an outstanding group of professional educators. I hope that you will continue to participate in the procedures required under PERB. As you know, I am a strong supporter of educators using the collective bargaining process to advance quality education for all. Sincerely, ‘Curren D. Price, Jr. Councilmember, 9" District CITY HALL + 200 NORTH SPRING STREET * SUITE 420 + Los ANGELES, CA 90012 + (213) 473-7009 DISTRICT OFFICE * 4301 S.
