“Al principio, estaban inseguros de hacer la unión y de no molestar al patrón,” dijo Jesus Tzuc. A pesar de este sentimiento, los trabajadores reconocieron que con un sindicato podían mejorar sus condiciones de trabajo.

“Ellos tenían mucha esperanza cuando hablé con ellos,” dijo Jesus. “Era importante para nosotros buscar un sindicato que nos podía representar justamente.”

“Decision making in general was something that was really frustrating a lot of times,” Kimica Bland said. “Hearing information from the top but not having any voice from students, staff and family.”

Bland said that teachers wanted to give students — who are predominantly Hispanic and Black — a more culturally relevant curriculum but didn’t have enough control.

Thank you to The Vallejo Sun for getting the story of our union victory and continued struggle for a better education environment for all! 💥

The union drive at Caliber Public Schools began in Richmond two years ago and staff has been organizing since.

We’re thankful and ready for ALL workers at both Beta and CMA to get a voice in our running our workplace as we are the best positioned to bring solutions to problems our community faces. Excited for our next chapter! ✊🏾✊🏼✊🏿

On Tuesday May 10, the California Public Employees Relations Board, found in favor of our majority support for both Teaching and Support staff bargaining units at Caliber: Beta Academy and Caliber: Changemakers Academy. From the jump we have wanted a wall to wall union that can fight for ALL Caliber Workers, Families, and Students in our community. Caliber Management has yet to respond to our demand to honor our democratic vote for union representation and in doing so is just delaying the inevitable.

Caliber Workers are calling on management to stop funneling money to expensive anti-union lawyers and just listen to their employees by honoring the vote count that occurred over two weeks ago! We're ready to set this aside and come together as equals to collaborate on the issues that matter for all Caliber stakeholders, it's time management holds up their end of the bargain.

Our next meeting is tonight at 6pm where we will discuss further action and get ready to bargain! All Caliber workers are welcome and have an equal say. Message us for meeting info/check your email inbox for the zoom link.

El martes 10 de mayo, la Junta de Relaciones con los Empleados Públicos de California falló a favor de nuestro apoyo mayoritario para las unidades de negociación del personal docente y de apoyo en Caliber: Beta Academy y Caliber: Changemakers Academy. Desde el principio hemos querido un sindicato de pared a pared que pueda luchar por TODOS los trabajadores, familias y estudiantes de Caliber en nuestra comunidad. Caliber Management todavía tiene que responder a nuestra demanda de honrar nuestro voto democrático para la representación sindical y al hacerlo solo está retrasando lo inevitable.

¡Caliber Workers está pidiendo a la gerencia que deje de canalizar dinero a costosos abogados antisindicales y simplemente escuche a sus empleados honrando el conteo de votos que ocurrió hace más de dos semanas! Estamos listos para dejar esto de lado y unirnos como iguales para colaborar en los temas que importan para todas las partes interesadas de Caliber, es la gestión del tiempo la que cumple su parte del trato.

¡Nuestra próxima reunión es esta noche a las 6:00 p. m. donde discutiremos más acciones y nos prepararemos para negociar! Todos los trabajadores de Caliber son bienvenidos y tienen la misma voz. Envíenos un mensaje para obtener información sobre la reunión/verifique su bandeja de entrada de correo electrónico para ver el enlace de zoom.

Caliber Families Friday! 💖 Listen to parents who support teachers and staff!

As a union of educators and the support staff that makes our schools run we organize because we want to make our schools the best they can be. Our working conditions are students' learning conditions. Which is why we are fighting for job security, class size caps, case load management, protected prep time, any and all things that can ensure we push back on staff turnover so we can continue serving students and families to the best of our abilities!

Families and care takers who want to get involved please consider signing up online: caliberworkers.org/parents/ ⚡️

¡Viernes de familias de Caliber! 💖 Como un sindicato de educadores y personal de apoyo que hace que nuestras escuelas funcionen, nos organizamos porque queremos que nuestras escuelas sean lo mejor posible. Nuestras condiciones de trabajo son las condiciones de aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Es por eso que estamos luchando por la seguridad laboral, los límites de tamaño de clase, la gestión de la carga de casos, el tiempo de preparación protegido, todas y cada una de las cosas que pueden garantizar que reduzcamos la rotación de personal para que podamos continuar sirviendo a los estudiantes y las familias lo mejor que podamos.

Las familias y los cuidadores que deseen participar, consideren registrarse en línea: es.calibreworkers.org/parents/

Yesterday we submitted our formal request to management to recognize the democratic vote of teachers and support staff at Caliber Public Schools and recognize our union ✨ Teachers and support staff at Beta & Changemakers spoke loud and clear that we are ready to uplift our community and make needed changes together so we can continue building a more fair and just school for all. We think it's high time management accepts the results, avoids costly delays and lawyers fees, and invests in collaboration with ALL Caliber workers!

Time to wear our union swag loud and proud! 😎🥳🤝

Caliber workers please continue taking our bargaining survey at caliberworkers.org/survey/ keep reaching out to let more of our co-workers know that they have a voice and that any non-management employee at Caliber that joins our union can be a union representative.

Next meeting is Wednesday May 25 at 6pm!

Ayer presentamos nuestra solicitud formal a la gerencia para reconocer el voto democrático de los trabajadores de las Escuelas Públicas de Caliber y reconocer a nuestro sindicato ✨ Los maestros y el personal de apoyo de Beta & Changemakers hablaron alto y claro de que estamos listos para animar a nuestra comunidad y hacer los cambios necesarios juntos para que podamos continuar construyendo una escuela más justa para todos. ¡Creemos que es hora de que la gerencia acepte los resultados, evite costosas demoras y honorarios de abogados, e invierta en colaboración con TODOS los trabajadores de Caliber!

¡Es hora de usar nuestro botín sindical fuerte y orgulloso! 😎🥳🤝

Trabajadores de Caliber, continúen participando en nuestra encuesta de negociación en calibreworkers.org/survey/ siga comunicándose para que más de nuestros compañeros de trabajo sepan que tienen voz y que cualquier empleado que no sea de la gerencia de Caliber que se una a nuestro sindicato puede ser un representante sindical .

La próxima reunión sindical es el miércoles 25 de mayo a las 6:00 p. m.

Fellow Caliber Workers, Friends, and Families: WE WON 🥳

After years of on going support, struggle, and collaboration the California Public Employees Relations Board has accepted our super majority proof of support at both Caliber: Beta Academy and Caliber ChangeMakers Academy schools for teachers AND support staff!

With this certification us Caliber Workers are calling on Admin at Caliber Public Schools to finally put an end to the tens of thousands of dollars spent on anti-union lawyers trying to silence workers' voices. Instead it's time to meet us at the bargaining table and let's get to work investing in our schools, our students, our communities, and our workforce.

Our working conditions are students' learning conditions. And we are tired of our community being undervalued.

"I am proud and inspired to be working alongside such brilliant and dedicated educators. Unionization allows us to join the ranks of thousands of other schools across the country by ensuring that our staff are protected. I see unionization as an investment in our network's future: Our community has stood up to say yes to partnership, yes to accountability, and yes to the belief that we are strongest when all of our voices get a seat at the table. Our administration has already made some incredible changes. I'm excited to continue partnering with them, and look forward to all that this new chapter will bring!” - Fourth Grade Lead Teacher Gerri Swift
