The VEA is holding a Collective Bargaining training for local Education Associations. Under the leadership of VEA Vice President, Dr. James Fedderman, all locals were asked to assemble a team to represent their EA at the training. Your PEA team consists of Evangelina Balmori, Dr. Willie Sherman and Dr. Jessica Jones. Other locals signed up to participate in the training include:
Arlington Education Association, Augusta County Education Association, Bland County Education Association, Chesapeake Education Association, Dickenson Education Association, Education Association of Norfolk, Education
In 1993, Collective Bargaining for Public Sector Employees came to an end. While most states mandate collective bargaining for school staff, here, in Virginia, it is prohibited by law; however, that could change! Collective bargaining laws strengthen education associations by allowing them to negotiate fair and equitable contracts by regulating salaries, benefits, working conditions, and other rights for employees. Since there is strength in numbers, teachers and support staff in collective bargaining states have historically enjoyed better salaries and greater protections than those in states where the practice is
Association of Suffolk, Frederick County Education Association, Giles Education Association, Gloucester Education Association, Grayson County Education Association, Halifax Education Association, Henry County Education Association, Loudoun Education Association, Prince Edward Education Association, Prince William Education Association, Richmond Education Association, Russel County Education Association, Shenandoah County Education Association, York Education Association and the VEA-Retired.
Dr. Fedderman stated, “The reality is we are in this together. I am confident this training will unify us, strengthen us, and strategically prepare us for the next steps of the Collective Bargaining process.” Stay tuned! There is hope on the horizon!
