Bargaining Input Sessions across our Union provided members an opportunity to identify bargaining priorities for the 2014 successor agreement.

Dozens of member volunteers held more than:

107 Input Sessions with more than 1684 Members participating

The SDEA Bargaining Commission and Bargaining Team have reviewed the input collected from members and have

determined the bargaining priorities.

In order to achieve our priorities, SDEA members are ready to participate in

organizing efforts to support the bargaining campaign and gain a strong contract!

“The power we build in the bargaining campaign will be lasting power that will increase the capacity of members to win in the future.”
