Unit A and Unit C are at the table!
As educators, we shape the future, but we also need to advocate for ourselves. Collective bargaining is a powerful tool for securing fair wages, better working conditions, and stronger protections. Staying informed and engaged is essential to making sure our voices are heard. Bargaining is an ongoing process that requires your active involvement. Stay informed, attend meetings, and participate in campaigns. Your engagement ensures that our profession moves forward with fairness and respect.
We are planning on providing a HQ doc that will be a single resource to find important dates including any planned solidarity events, proposals, tentative agreements, and relevant research. Stay tuned!!
Together, we are stronger. Stay involved—our future depends on it.
Here’s why it matters.
1. Knowledge is Power
Understanding the issues on the table helps you stay proactive. The more informed you are, the better you can advocate for your rights and make sure the GEA is negotiating on your behalf.
2. Collective Bargaining Needs Your Voice
The strength of the union depends on active participation. By attending meetings and providing input, you ensure that your priorities are heard, and the GEA is fighting for what matters most to you.
3. Protect Your Rights and Benefits
Your hard-earned rights—such as fair wages and a safe working & learning environment—must be defended. Staying involved means you help protect the benefits that improve your working conditions and quality of life.
4. Strengthen Solidarity
Union solidarity boosts bargaining power. By staying engaged, you reinforce the collective strength of our union and help ensure successful negotiations.
