As we continue to fight to make GAPS better for all staff and students; our membership, in overwhelming numbers, has called for a strike vote. We have reached the point in negotiations where we must ask all certified staff at GAPS to sign-up to attend a strike school. You do not need to be a full dues paying GAEA member to attend.
The strike schools are safe space to help everyone become fully informed of your legal rights, protections, and responsibilities during a strike. Members of your bargaining team will provide a mediation update of where things stand at the bargaining table, and discuss the reasons a strike vote is being called. We'll have OEA staff available to answer all questions related to negotiations, a potential strike, and the types of support that will be available to dues paying union members. We ask every certified member to attend in advance of the strike vote to become a fully educated and informed voter.
