AEA Bargaining Team Update
September 18th, 2024 Update
Dear Members,
Since last May, the AEA Bargaining Team has been meeting and planning, tirelessly discussing issues, analyzing past survey data, and researching negotiation trends from the lower 48—all to build an initial proposal to enhance your financial security. At the same time, the team continues to review contract articles related to our working conditions and explore items to support your learning environment and manage your workload.
Moreover, the AEA Team has been reviewing emails and talking with Courtney, Val, and Corey regarding issues and concerns that have been shared. IT'S TIME TO HEAR FROM YOU!
The AEA Team is allowing every member to add their voice. Take this opportunity to fill out the 2024 AEA Bargaining Team Survey.
Additionally, many educators have asked when negotiations will begin. Article 505 first paragraph states:
"The initial bargaining session shall be set by mutual agreement with the shared goal of beginning negotiations and exchanging initial proposals no later than November 2024."
AEA and ASD are currently discussing the process to be used and the timeline for negotiations. Once firm plans have been made, the team will update members. Please take this moment to fill out the survey at the button below.
Thanks,
Corey Aist
