Views on DU: 275 | On Sept 14 hundreds of teachers protested outside the L.A. Times building in response to the newspapers use of skewed data in publicly ranking, naming & shaming 6000 teachers.

2. Let's make one clear distinction |
|
Fwiw, many advocacy groups publish all sorts of stuff on public employees' compensation, reviews, etc. PUBLIC employees - cops, firefighters, teachers.
Employees of the LA Times do not work for a govt. body.
The comparison should correctly be with other public employees (teachers compared to cops, firefighters, etc.).
Fwiw, I am not aware of any newspaper that routinely exposes performance reviews of cops and firefighters as opposed to teachers. The only time I see them do this is when a particular employee commits some questionable act.
To contrast, there are any # of public employee watchdog sites that routinely publish salaries, overtime, etc. of cops and firefighters, etc. and have every right to do so - since as public employees - it's public record.
I do not see them publish performance reviews though. At least not routinely
