There is no more union in New Orleans

I applaud your efforts. Please include what is happening in New Orleans in your documentary.
Research on reforms has some excellent data. I am attaching two reports they put out that are particularly disturbing. Also there was a scandal last year when a third party recruitment company hired by charter schools in Louisiana held some 300 teachers from the Philippines as indentured servants until the union in NO helped them file suit:

There is no more union in NO. This summer they closed their doors. The teachers are terrified to talk as they will lose their jobs.
