Duval Teachers Union faces possible decertification over new membership requirement

The Duval Teachers United (DTU) is at risk of losing its certification due to a new state law requiring 60% membership to avoid a recertification vote. The union is currently about 900 members short of the Tuesday deadline. If the vote fails, teachers and staff could lose their current contract with the district, jeopardizing benefits like bereavement leave and supplemental pay for extra duties.
