**The ratification vote by the OEA Membership will take place on Friday, June 14. That meeting is not dependent on the actions of the Executive Board or Rep Council.
Update
On Monday, June 10, the OEA Executive Board voted 10 to 6 to recommend that the membership accept the Tentative Agreement (TA).
A TA is the first step to having a settled contract. The membership has the final say in accepting or rejecting the terms of the TA at a Ratification Meeting on Friday, June 14.
Hard copies are available now at the OEA Center.
Please send questions you may have about the TA tooaklandea@oaklandea.com, and write in Subject Line: TA QUESTION. This will help us prepare a FAQ sheet for the Ratification Meeting.
We have made small but real gains in this Tentative Agreement, the first TA since 2005. One of the strategies for settling a contract by the end of the year was to establish a foundation to build upon in the next round of negotiations for a 3 year contract. Those sessions will begin in the fall and I am convinced that the solidarity we have built among the membership this year will continue to grow and will be critical to achieving significantly more.
In Unity,
Trish Gorham, OEA President
Enforce the Contract!
An Article of the contract was not printed in the current copy, but is still agreed to by OEA and the District. The last Wednesday Minimum Day in elementary schools is exclusively for teacher preparation and there are no mandatory meetings.
SPREAD THE WORD!
It is not just the OEA Center that holds all responsibility for getting the word out to members.
Reps: Please make sure the members at your sites are getting the most up to date information.
Members: Please forward to your colleagues whom you know don't always fix their attention on union matters.
It is extremely important that we make the decision on a Tentative Agreement through a vibrant democratic process. That can only be fully realized by an engaged and participatory membership.VOTE!
