TMCNet: California Teachers Association ends trusteeship of TALB, the Long Beach teachers union

[September 10, 2008]

California Teachers Association ends trusteeship of TALB, the Long Beach teachers union

(Press-Telegram (Long Beach, CA) (KRT) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Sep. 10--LONG BEACH -- The California Teachers Association has ended its nearly year-old trusteeship of the Long Beach teachers union, restoring full control to its local chapter, CTA officials announced.


The CTA, the statewide union, assumed control of the Teachers Association of Long Beach in October following allegations of fiscal mismanagement and a leadership controversy at the local chapter.

The troubles at the chapter caused CTA to place the Long Beach union in "trusteeship" under the control of former CTA president Barbara Kerr.

"CTA is confident that through the hard work of trustee Barbara Kerr and local leadership, TALB is now able to move forward, and that the issues that led to the trusteeship have been dealt with effectively," CTA President David A. Sanchez said.

"TALB is an important organization that can now better serve its members and have a strong and positive impact on students and the community," Sanchez added in a statement released Tuesday, the same day that the CTA Board of Directors voted to end the trusteeship.

During the trusteeship, new financial rules and procedures were instituted at TALB to address findings of an outside audit that criticized the management of the chapter, CTA officials have said.

The rarely used CTA takeover came in the wake of a leadership struggle pitting TALB president Michael Day and then-executive director Scott McVarish against members of the TALB board of directors seeking

McVarish's ouster.

A majority of the board on June 5, 2007, voted to fire McVarish. Shortly afterward, McVarish was reinstated to his position by a controversial vote of the union's Representative Council, a decision-making body of teachers elected at school sites.

Some TALB board members had alleged that McVarish acted beyond the scope of his authority as executive director. They also publicly alleged that union funds had been mismanaged. McVarish, who has denied any wrongdoing, announced his resignation from TALB in February.

He could not immediately be reached for comment.

CTA hired an outsider auditing firm -- Hemming Morse, Inc. -- to review TALB books as part of an investigation into allegations of fiscal mismanagement.

According to a copy of the audit obtained by the Press-Telegram, auditors found that:

Over the past two years, TALB appeared to have used general fund money for political expenses and spent at least $110,000 more on its election campaigns than union leaders had authorized.

Loans the union took out to fund campaigns apparently "did not receive adequate approval" by union leadership prior to being executed.

Auditors were unable to find proper supporting documentation for at least $120,000 in TALB credit card charges and check payments.

McVarish breached his employment agreement by signing about $678,000 in checks after the TALB board of directors had revoked his authority to do so.

There were "a large number of errors and possibly irregularities in the computation of (McVarish's) payroll."

Union president Day did not get approval from the TALB board before signing a confidential settlement agreement with McVarish in July of last year reversing the board's decision to fire McVarish and reimbursing McVarish for legal fees. Auditors questioned the legal validity of the agreement, which Day has defended.

TALB gave salary advances to employees, a practice auditors criticized.

Nearly $32,000 in checks appeared to have forged signatures. Kerr has said that the alleged forgeries were not done for personal gain.

Kerr has declined to release a copy of the audit to the media, rank-and-file TALB members or the Representative Council, citing employee privacy concerns.
