Negotiations and Superintendent Meetings
by Erik Adams 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

Hi everyone, I hope your summer went well. I'm writing this to let you know that negotiations are not yet over. I have no idea how we got the extra personal day without ratifying, but is anybody really complaining? We are just waiting for HR to schedule what will hopefully be the last meeting of negotiations. What we asked for: That the association is able to introduce ourselves to new hires in orientation. We already have the permission from custodial and Ricardo to do that, we just need some kind of official document. That the association conducts an exit interview when a B&G employee leaves. Also, the aunt/uncle bereavement will go to a joint committee between the district and the classified associations for study. As soon as I know when we meet for that and negotiations I will let everyone know. The classified presidents and superintendent monthly meetings will start October 6, if anyone has any issues for the superintendent please let me know. Welcome and thanks for joining our new members and thanks to all who have been members for a while/long time. When we stand together in solidarity we can make a difference. -- Erik Adams President SLC B&G Association Executive Board Member Utah School Employees Association eadams(a)useautah.org Mobile: 801.750.4473 Office: 801.269.9320

Negotiations
by Erik Adams 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Good morning everyone, I know many of you have been wondering about negotiations. They are underway and in progress. We got off to a late start in June, and are meeting next mid July. There is a possibility they could go longer than that. Once we reach a tentative agreement with the district we will bring forth the agreement to the membership for ratification. If there is any pay increase it would be retroactive to July 1st. Ratification will most likely be voted on through email because large meetings may not be possible. Thanks for your patience. Feel free to reach out to me or the executive board with questions. Have a great day! -- Erik Adams President Salt Lake City Buildings and Grounds Employee Association Executive Board Member Utah School Employees Association eadams(a)useautah.org Mobile: 801.750.4473 Office: 801.269.9320

Fwd: Call to Action
by Erik Adams 08 May '20

08 May '20

It’s super easy to email Congress, the message is already written for you all though you do have the option to personalize it. Please participate, this is important. Thanks everyone! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jason Lewis <jlewis(a)useaut.org> Date: Fri, May 8, 2020 at 9:33 AM Subject: Call to Action To: board(a)useautah.org <board(a)useautah.org> Please share This with all of their members, leaders, family, etc. An economic downturn that could rival the Great Depression is upon us—and threatening the ability of state and local governments to fund public education and other essential services. NEA is calling for an additional $175 billion to stabilize education funding. A decade ago, during the Great Recession, state and local governments scrapped essential student services and laid off tens of thousands of educators. *We can’t let that happen again.* The global pandemic has wreaked havoc on state budgets across the country. States are required to balance annual budgets, and Utah is anticipating a significant shortfall in the upcoming budget cycle, which makes it imperative for Congress to act. Leaders at NEA have outlined three priorities for members to advocate with U.S. representatives and senators <http://click.meaaction.org/?qs=be3e639dec0fca37780ac0d938ad656a5f1a665ea33b…>, including $175 billion earmarked for education to the states, $4 billion to address the digital divide, and protective equipment and supplies for support staff and others who still must show up at worksites to supply meals and schoolwork for students. *We need you to get involved and take action:* - Go to www.nea.org/covidaction and email your members of Congress. - Text ACTION to 84693 to receive mobile alerts from the NEA. - Attend the Virtual Tele-Town Hall on May 14 at 5:00pm MT. Register at www.nea.org/actiontownhall Thank you – we can’t do this without you! Jason Lewis President Utah School Employees Association If you believe it will work out, you’ll see opportunities. If you believe it won’t, you will see obstacles. – Wayne Dyer -- Erik Adams Executive Board Member Utah School Employees Association eadams(a)useautah.org Mobile: 801.750.4473 Office: 801.269.9320
