Union Philosophy

My union philosophy is simple. The DTA should focus on protecting its members by negotiating and enforcing strong contract language, fair and forgiving APPR plans, and generous payscales to compensate us for some of the most challenging working conditions in the state. We need transparent union leadership that listens to our voices first and sees us as equals. Our leadership needs to both reflect and amplify our voices, while standing out as a shield and a target so our members feel safer.
