CSO Takes Action at CTA State Council Meeting
submitted by the CSO Organizing Team
On Saturday, Jan. 25, our union sent a clear message to CTA Executive Officers David Goldberg, Leslie Littman and Erika Jones that we are united against their decision to hire a manager with a problematic history of mistreating her employees.
CSO reached more than 500 CTA members as they exited the First General Session of State Council. CSO provided CTA members with our informational flyer, asked them to stand with us by contacting CTA’s executive officers, and engaged CTA members one-on-one, resulting in positive connections, conversations and a continued path forward to building a stronger CTA together. Through these interactions, CTA members let us know that they support us and are disappointed with the decision by the CTA Board of Directors to hire this troubling candidate for the Region 4 Manager position.
CSO’s Organizing Team, with support from CSO officers and reps, worked together to execute our successful action. Within a five-day window, we made calls and held one-on-ones to secure commitments from CSO in Regions 3 & 4, and those working at State Council. A total of 55 CSO participated in our action with 19 attending from Region 4. Additionally, 23 CSO attended despite not having to work during State Council weekend. We appreciate everyone who took part in this action.
