Thanks to all who came to our unit member meeting!


If you missed our meeting last Thursday, we wanted to share out information from that meeting - including a list of the elected site reps, who will also be following up with their staff!
 
Slides: Dec 2 Unit Meeting
Besides meeting elected representatives and hearing updates, there was a chance for unit members to share out what feels urgent at schools right now. It is clear that at some schools in particular, staff is being impacted by resignations, lack of subs, burnout, and beyond. While we are continuing to urge the administration to come to the bargaining table to address these issues, we want to gather concrete data on where and how staff is being impacted. If you did not get a chance to at the meeting, please take our staffing survey to share your current situation and what solutions you would support in the bargaining process:
