Our union is the best possible way to have your voice heard and to have representation. If something was happening to you in the workplace, your voices are are louder together than they are individually, especially in a big school district like Cherry Creek.

"It's important to get involved in your union because your union is you--you run the union. With your locals, you're responsible for it. You get to make it what it is and by doing that you bring your voice to the table. Everybody's opinion matters. The more people there, it brings in more ideas, and it brings in what is really going on on the floor.:"

“Knowing that we're part of a union makes us very confident. It makes me confident to be able to come into our job and know that we are secure and also we are protected with numbers. We are definitely a more cohesive family than just being fellow coworkers.”

“I got involved with our union because my family's a union family. My mom was a teacher. She was in the teacher's union... My great-grandfather was an organizer for the United Mine Workers. It’s important to grow our union to have that strength, to have that bargaining power.”

“It's important for us to be involved in our union because if you don’t have a say at your workplace, management will make those decisions for you. So the more people we have in our union, the more green they see every single day in the hallway, the stronger we are. It shows management that you are a voice for the majority of the workers. It's one voice working towards making the workplace a better place to work."
