Montessori-Panne: Portlander Vorschule schließt wegen Gewerkschaftsdruck

Portland, Oregon – In einer ungewöhnlichen Wende haben zwei Montessori-Vorschulen in Portland, Oregon, überraschend geschlossen, nachdem die Mitarbeiter Gewerkschaftsunterstützung gesucht hatten.

Die Vorschulen, The Montessori School of Beaverton und The Montessori School of Cedar Mill, wurden von den Eigentümern Ende April geschlossen. Die Eltern und Kinder wurden abrupt informiert, dass die Schulen nicht wieder öffnen würden.

Die Schließungen kamen nachdem die Mitarbeiter der Schulen Anfang des Jahres offiziell die Gewerkschaft United Academics of Pacifica (UAP) gebildet hatten. Die Mitarbeiter hatten Verbesserungen bei Arbeitsbedingungen, Entlohnung und Unterrichtsressourcen gefordert.

Die Schließung der Schulen hat bei den Eltern für Empörung gesorgt, die betonen, dass die Montessori-Erziehung ihrer Kinder von großer Bedeutung sei. Es bleibt unklar, ob die Schulen ihre Türen wieder öffnen werden und wie die Zukunft der betroffenen Mitarbeiter aussehen wird.
