‘This is 100% character assassination’: response to questions about conflict of interest By
March 12, 2021
An elected school board member in Macomb county also works for the union that represents its teachers in labor contract negotiations.
Is that a conflict of interest?
Board member Elizabeth Pyden, one of four Uniserv directors for the Michigan Education Association s Local 1, says it is not. Further, she said, inquiries about the arrangement are part of a character assassination effort being undertaken by a group trying to get her and three other individuals recalled from the Chippewa Valley school board.
The MEA describes its regional Uniservs as field teams involved in “bargaining, representation and other employment issues.” Chippewa Valley school employees are members of MEA Local 1, which is also Pyden s employer, but she is not part of the team that acts directly as their agent in bargaining and contract matters.
