This applies to continuing, term, and probationary contract employees. TSTA UniServ representatives in our eight statewide Resource Centers are also available to assist any member with employment concerns during the school year, without respect to contract status. TSTA lobbyists will be working overtime this spring in the legislature to make sure that bad people do not take away or infringe upon your contract rights. If your probationary friend scoffs at this, you give that friend a 45-day notice that the friendship will be over, and cannot be appealed. Let's face it.
Probationary employees have very little protection at the end of the contract term.
TSTA Legal Services is currently fighting to protect what little rights they have from vanishing. Of course, you can't get TSTA services if you wait until the last minute to join, so don't wait for a problem to happen.
