Get Organized!
Many join unions for selfish reasons, and well they might. Whatever their faults, over the years unions have raised wages, shortened hours, secured vacations, pensions and other benefits. And the good ones have given workers, above all, a sense of independence and self-worth...diginity...the ability to stand up to the boss. John Cort, writer

MSEA Welcomes Carver-Scott Educational Cooperative!
9.1.09 - MSEA would like to welcome our newest organized unit - the Carver-Scott Educational Cooperativepara support staff! This group includes 35 paraprofessionals, interpreters, job coaches, food service and assistants specializing in audiology, auto mechanics and technology. The Coop services eight school districts near the Twin Cities including Chaska, Shakopee and Norwood/Young America. Members of the group contacted MSEA in May to learn more about how to join a union. Several informational meetings were held to ensure everyone had an opportunity to learn exactly what MSEA has to offer. On August 5, the unit voted overwhelmingly (20-1) to join MSEA!
Shakopee members Deanne Glynn, Brenda Henning and Carol Snell also attended one of the meetings to answer questions and offer a "member's perspective" regarding the advantages of joining MSEA. It was beneficial for the Carver-Scott employees to hear first hand from MSEA members why they feel organizing has helped their unit. Thanks so much for your time and efforts!
We received this contact from MSEA member Jane Donna from our Shakopee para unit. In keeping with MSEA's Member Organizing Incentive Program, Jane received $50 after her referral led to a meeting with the new group. However, Jane will now have her MSEA state dues for 2008-09 waived because the referral led to a successful election! Thank you Jane and congratulations!
