MEA–When There’s a Crisis
Whether it’s a crisis at the bargaining table, a proposal
to outsource or downgrade your job, or an emergency
at your work site, MEA is at your side, ready to help.
MEA staff will help with all aspects of a crisis—planning,
internal and external communications, strategy
development and implementation, legal assistance,
consulting and expertise. MEA also may be able to provide
some financial assistance to help with a local crisis—
contact your local president or UniServ director to learn
more.
“It took us a while to realize that our bargaining was
in a crisis mode…MEA was with us every step of the way,
giving us the expertise that helped us reach a settlement.
We’re a small local, and we couldn’t have done it without
MEA’s help.” – Dee Brock, president, Shepherd Education Association.
“I was very pleased with the support MEA gave us because
we couldn’t have done it on our own. Our UniServ director
went above and beyond what I expected by working with
our group anytime, anywhere. We had lots of support
from the teachers, other departments in the school and
the community, but I believe that if it wasn’t for MEA’s
assistance, we would have lost our jobs.” – Judeen Huston, food service, Manton Public Schools
