Anyone can say raise teacher pay, but we have a comprehensive plan to make it happen. Each and every one of you deserves to be paid a substantial professional salary. We will make that happen, together.

You deserve to work free of intimidation. We will protect your rights and strengthen your representation during grievance hearings.

 Bring back SCRAM.  Stop member abuses by administrators.

You should not be expected to do more and more work without being paid for it! Your time should be rewarding to you and you should be well compensated for it.

Testing should not replace time teaching. Students are not standardized cogs in a machine. They are individuals with very individualized needs, learning styles, and challenges.

Students’ families and teachers struggle to be able to afford to live in Los Angeles. We will work to create a modern curriculum that empowers students, teachers, and schools to increase economic stability and security moving forward.

When you show up and succeed in getting an important motion passed only to have it disappear into some committee, that is unjust and unacceptable!

We have the expertise and experience to know what UTLA should be doing that they are not doing, and what they are doing that they definitely should not be doing!

We will make UTLA transparent and accountable to you and every rank-and-file member.

Overcrowded classrooms and insufficient numbers of teachers aids and support staff put undue burdens on you.

We will work together in reducing teacher workloads. 

Professional development should be relevant to each teacher.

For too long UTLA has been run like an insiders club. Past officers have been excluded and frozen out in an apparent effort to preserve power.

We will create an inclusive collegial environment and welcome the input, ideas, and participation of every past elected officer, many of whom have a wealth of experience that can continue to help our members.
