How We Win A Strong Contract

Our power isn’t at the negotiating table.

You elected your coworkers to negotiate our contract, but what they're able to achieve in improving our pay, time off, and our rights on the job depends on the rest of us.

Our power lies with union members like you and with the communities and students who depend on us being able to show up and do our work.

Stay up to date with the messages from your bargaining team on this page. Get involved. Get your coworkers and local community involved.

Show up and get loud.
