Because They Organized.

As we head into Labor Day, we remember that the progress workers have made came from people standing together and speaking up. When we organize, our voices are stronger and our impact is greater.

Learn the history. Know the lesson. Keep organizing.

Because They Organized.

Every lesson in labor history reminds us that progress happens when people come together. From the classroom to the workplace, organized people can create change.

Learn the history. Know the lesson. Keep organizing.

Because They Organized.

The rights and opportunities workers have today didn’t happen by accident. They happened because people came together, organized, and fought for change.

A little labor history. A lasting lesson.

The fight for dignity at work didn’t end in 1963.

Today, we carry that legacy forward every time we organize, speak up, and stand together for **fairness, respect, and a stronger voice for working people.**

History reminds us: progress happens when we refuse to stand alone.

On Monday, Mr. Broskie sent an email clarifying the difference between the PERC Showing of Interest Card and the Contract Ratification Voting Form. Mr. Broskie and the district are absolutely correct that the PERC Showing of Interest Card is separate from the vote to ratify the contract.

CCEA has bargained every contract with the district since 1975. The purpose of signing a PERC Showing of Interest Card is to help preserve CCEA as the bargaining unit and, in turn, preserve a contract that we have fought for on behalf of Clay County educators for more than 50 years.

We would like to thank the district for communicating this information to members on our behalf and for their cooperation in helping us keep CCEA—and the contract we have fought for—in existence. Everyone understands that without CCEA continuing to exist as the bargaining unit for Clay County, the CCEA contract will cease to exist.

And to be clear: A CCEA Rep will never prohibit you from voting on the contract because you choose not to fill out a PERC Showing of Interest Card.

Two separate forms.
Two separate purposes.
