Unions create a fair playing field in the workplace. When workers stand together, they bargain for better pay, benefits and working conditions.
Unions raise the standard of living for all workers. By standing together, working peoples created the 40-hour work week, 8-hour work day, paid vacations, and fair compensation.
With any successful organization, leadership is the key. Our leadership team is led by our BTA Executive Board which is comprised of our Union President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, Grade level Directors representing High School, Middle School and Elementary School as well as At Large Directors who represent specific departments such as Independent Learning Academy, Community Day School, Special Education, Teachers On Special Assignment (TOSA), Adult School, Magnolia Park and FACTS.
Our site representatives are the liaison between leadership and our membership at individual schools. They serve to inform, motivate and support members within a particular school site. Site Reps attend monthly meetings to gain information regarding current issues to disseminate back at their respective school sites and to bring site specific issues to leadership’s attention.
