Protect classified jobs in lean times

Our voice as classified school employees is most important during these times when school districts are making cuts. Our chapter’s advocacy might be the difference between losing our jobs and saving the important work we do for students.

As a CSEA member, make sure you are up-to-date with the district’s plans to balance its budget. If you hear from chapter leadership about actions we will take as a chapter to protect our jobs, be sure to participate.

It’s also important to pass on CSEA materials regarding the importance of our jobs to your co-workers and to the parents of the students we serve. Talk to the chapter’s leadership to find out what else you can do to help. By keeping everyone involved and participating, we can help the district find ways to weather these tough economic times.

While it may be a difficult time to be a school or community college employee, it's never been a more important time to be a member of CSEA. Your union is working at all levels to help its members survive this budget crisis.
