Listen "Red, White, & True Ep. 6: Don't Marry Management "
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to the sixth episode of Red, White, & True, a podcast that aims to navigate the world of polarized, partisan politics. Join host Chesney Evert and Edith Salvatore, president of the Sequoia District Teachers Association, as they discuss the economic and social importance of labor unions in our communities.
Labor unions utilize strategies like collective bargaining to ensure the rights of employees, mainly blue-collar workers, are protected. It’s democracy in the workplace; laborers come together to enforce a balance of power.
People outside the educational sphere blamed teachers and school administrators for the economic recession in 2021 when school closures due to COVID-19 meant parents had to improvise childcare. Salvatore speaks to managing these attitudes and their impacts from inside a teachers union, advocating for teachers in the Sequoia Union High School District.
