OSEA Bill of Rights

Bill of Rights

We, the thousands of working people who are members of the Oregon School Employees Association (OSEA), AFT Local 6732, proclaim these rights for ourselves and our fellow employees wherever they are employed and whatever their positions.

1. The right to be treated with dignity and respect in our employment.

2. The right to be paid a living wage and reasonable compensation for what we do.

3. The right to conduct our private lives without interference.

4. The right to participate in those decisions of our employers that

Summer is upon us, and parents, children and teachers are winding down from what has been an exhausting and fully operational school year—the first since the devastating pandemic. The long-lasting impact of COVID-19 has affected our students’ and families’ well-being and ignited the politics surrounding public schools. All signs point to the coming school year unfolding with the same sound and fury, and if extremist culture warriors have their way, being even more divisive and stressful.

In AFT President Randi Weingarten’s latest New York Times column, she describes what it is exactly that unions do. Though unions are the most popular they have been in decades, anti-union sentiment still thrives in red states and across the nation. “Several years ago, The Atlantic ran a story whose headline made even me, a labor leader, scratch my head: ‘Union Membership: Very Sexy,’” Weingarten writes in the column. “The gist was that higher wages, health benefits and job security—all associated with union membership—boost one’s chances of getting married. Belonging to a union doesn’t actually guarantee happily ever after, but it does help working people have a better life in the here and now.” Click through to read the full column.

In defense of public education

I have reason to believe that answers I may give to your questions could lead to disciplinary action. I request that my Union representative be present at this meeting before I answer any questions. Without my representative present, I will refuse to answer any questions.
