UESF Structure Participate! ...attend your school's UBC meetings and UESF Assembly, join
a union committee, know and
help to enforce the contracts. You are the union. Only you can make it strong.
UESF is structured to encourage the greatest degree possible of membership participation through
Union Building Committees, Building Reps, Grade Level Committees and the UESF Assembly.
We intend to update this website regularly with information about UESF's structure. Please email any
questions you may have to UESF's webster. Future
topics will include The UBC and the Contract - Class Size; Electing Your UBC and Union Representative; the UBC
and Support Personnel; Role of School Site Council...
Union Building Committees (UBCs) If you need more information or help in setting up a UBC at your school, call Call Rudi Faltus at the UESF office
(621.4438).
Building Reps Grade Level Committees Through these committees, members share information, discuss issues, solve problems and
raise concerns. Call Rudi Faltus at the UESF office (621.4438) if you have any questions about
committees.
Assembly Members and Alternates Each school is entitled to one Assembly member per fifteen UESF members. The Building Rep
is automatically an Assembly member. Every other UBC member is either a member or alternate.
How to make your union, UESF, stronger
UBCs implement and enforce the union contracts at the school site. They maintain clear lines
of communications between staff and administration and meet regularly with adminstrators to
share ideas and information.
They design and conduct elections of
the Building Rep, UBC, and faculty representatives on any other shared decision making body at the site
such as the School Site Council.
Building Reps serve as Chair to the UBC and as liasion to the UESF staff. They
automatically are members of UESF's Assembly, a union policy-making body and any other shared
decision-making body at the school site. They keep staff informed of UESF news and benefits, promote
membership in UESF and ensure distribution of UESF publications.
UESF committees are open to all interested members. There's one for everyone:
Child Development
Program, Elementary, Middle School, High School,
Counselors, Special Education, Bilingual.
UESF's Assembly meets the third Wednesday of each month at McAteer High School at 4:00p.m. The
Assembly and Executive Board make union policy.
