The Asociación de Maestors Unidos, or AMU, is the teacher’s and counselor’s Union that represents the over 550 unit members at Green Dot Public Schools throughout 18 public charter schools in Los Angeles.

 

We are a Union of professionals that believes in education reform that supports, develops, and sustains teachers and counselors because every student deserves to be taught by an effective educator.

 

We believe our voice as teacher and counselor professionals is integral to making school site and organizational decisions that are good for students and fair for members. We affirm the Union's responsibility to collaborate with other stakeholders in public education and to consistently seek higher levels of student achievement.

 

We fight for social justice to realize our ultimate goal that all of our students leave high school college-ready and socially conscious.

 

Unfortunately our CMO leaders at GDPS don't always agree with our methods, and we need to be prepared to do anything to achieve our goals. This strike fund is just that, a safety net in case our members are ever in a time when we are not receiving pay during contract negotiations to make sure we achieve what we deserve!
