MTA wants to ensure that our elected leaders will continue to uphold the rights of union workers, including public school teachers. These include collective bargaining rights, the right to organize, the right to strike, and the right to actively participate in the political process.

CANDIDATE PLEDGE

As School Board Member, I pledge to:

1. Always act ethically and follow the law.

2. Hire only qualified individuals - through the appropriate process and channels - for school district positions, including for Superintendents, and allow them to do their jobs without interference.

3. Work with MTA to address the issues facing the Montebello Unified School District, through the point when a solution is reached on an issue.

4. To negotiate, in good faith, collective bargaining agreements with MTA and to abide by the terms of those agreements.

5. Remember that the job of a School Board Member is about our students, not one’s political future.
