Fernando Ávila, teacher at Locke, had a very simple math problem for the GD board to solve and ended with “We will not accept being paid below average because we know GreenDot does not hire below average.” MIC. DROP🎤

HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who was able to make it out yesterday to GD’s reschedule board meeting. We made some very much needed noise 💥 Thank you to all who submitted public comment as well. Getting a fair contract will take EVERYONE. Showing up big or small will make the difference! ✊

We are a DEMOCRACY. I am not the union; our members are, and they have spoken. Our members are more energized and united than ever before to win a fair contract that prioritizes every student!

GD cancelled their Board meeting today, but we will not be silenced! We delivered our AMU Report via email.

Join us in telling GD to come prepared with an acceptable package on November 6th. The longer management drags this on; it's our students who suffer the most. Our demands are clear to reach a fair agreement that reflects the needs and priorities of our students!

Enough is enough with superficial school site budgets. Charter school finances should be held to the same standard as all other school districts. NO more hiding money, no more sweet contracts for their friends, PASS AB84 for school financial accountability and assure that public funds go to students and bonafide educational efforts!

Today, Green Dot proposed a 0% increase to the AMU salary schedule. This is shameful. This clearly shows where their priorities lie, and it isn't with their teachers and counselors. Do better GD!
