June 21, 2021 - August 26, 2021

The 2020-2021 school year has been one of the toughest years of our lives for many educators. In response to Covid-19’s impacts on our school system, health, and careers – PGCEA is launching our Union Summer program in order to bring educators together to get ready for winning greater protections for all through Bargaining for the Common Good.

Starting with a virtual happy hour kick off on June 18^thand virtual organizing trainings the following week, PGCEA members will be trained on how to have effective organizing conversations and identify leaders, how we bargain our next contract for the common good, and how to use simple technology to conduct and track our power-building efforts. Then for the month of July and the first week of August, PGCEA members will focus on virtual organizing by listening to and identify the greatest concerns of co-workers.
