Bricolage Academy Educators Vote 'Union Yes'

Bricolage Academy became the latest New Orleans charter school to unionize as an affiliate of the United Teachers of New Orleans (UTNO), following an official vote Friday morning. Sixty teachers cast ballots and 70 percent were in favor of forming a union.
The vote included the school’s full-time and part-time professional employees, including teachers, associate teachers, counselors and interventionists. That’s according to the National Labor Relations Board, which oversaw the election.
Non-professional employees, such as para-professionals, managers, supervisors and guards, were not eligible to vote. UTNO President Wanda Richardson said eight employees cast votes that were ultimately determined to be ineligible. Reporters were not permitted to watch the vote count.

Kelly Fields' Local Guide to New Orleans

Like many visitors to this city, Kelly Fields fell in love with New Orleans at first sight. She was a teenager when she traveled there for Mardi Gras from Charleston, South Carolina, but she recalls that she knew it would be her future home. "I moved here as soon as I finished high school," Fields says.
Although she didn't come to New Orleans with dreams of becoming a chef, Fields soon found herself working, with little experience, at a small family-run bakery that had just landed a big contract. "They had to make 18,000 pieces of bread overnight," she recalls. "They recruited everybody they'd ever met or talked to, or even seen on the streets, to come help." That one day turned into a full-time job.
