Teachers prioritize students. Management needs to do the same. #OGEAstrong

Today management sent a letter to the Oak Grove community claiming they might be headed toward fiscal insolvency. We disagree. Management currently has nearly half the district's annual revenue stashed away in savings accounts. There is no imminent emergency.

COVID vaccines stay covered, accessible, and no prescription needed. While the CDC advisory committee hesitated, WA, OR, CA & HI are keeping guidance clear: protecting kids, seniors, and those at risk.

This is an attack on the retirement security of millions of working people in America. Social Security is a promise that nobody who works their entire life should have to spend their later years struggling to make ends meet. The Trump admin is threatening to break that promise.

California Labor showed up BIG this weekend to talk to voters in every corner of the state about the importance of voting YES on Prop 50!

OGEA handing out flyers at the Baldwin Fall Festival on Saturday. Parents were receptive and interested to receive this information about our contract negotiations. #ogeastrong #oakgrovesj #wecantwaitca #wearecta #sanjoseteachers

Management needs to SHARE THE RISK of health care premium increases with a FLOATING CAP, especially since THEY ABANDONED OUR HEALTH CARE POOL and caused RATES TO SKYROCKET. #ogeastrong #oakgrovesj #wecantwaitca #wearecta #sanjoseteachers

Management should PRIORITIZE STUDENTS BY SPENDING ON TODAY'S STUDENTS rather than stashing millions into savings. #ogeastrong #oakgrovesj #wecantwaitca #wearecta #sanjoseteachers

MANAGEMENT CAN AFFORD A 6% SALARY RAISE #ogeastrong #oakgrovesj #wecantwaitca #wearecta #sanjoseteachers

Management has spent MILLIONS ON CONSULTANTS and yet claims they can't afford to pay a 6% raise #ogeastrong #oakgrovesj #wecantwaitca #wearecta #sanjoseteachers

The OGEA PARENT FLYER is ready for distribution! Please print, copy, and pass out this flyer to parents within the Oak Grove community. This flyer suggests methods for parents to help us in our struggle to bargain a fair contract. PARENT SUPPORT IS CRITICAL TO OUR SUCCESS!

OGEA makes students our priority. It’s time for management to do the same. #OGEAstrong #WeAreCTA #WeCantWaitCA

OGEA IS FIRED UP!!! Protest signs are waiting for you to show off at tomorrow's board meeting. JOIN THE PROTEST TOMORROW!!!!!

Vote No on SB 414: Hold Charter Schools Accountable actionnetwork.org/letters/vote... #WeAreCTA @wearecta.bsky.social

🚨 California Labor showed its power 💪 tonight with the passage of #AB288! This bipartisan bill to make sure CA can step in and enforce the right to organize has now passed both houses with a supermajority and will soon be on @governor.ca.gov desk! California workers deserve a REAL RIGHT TO A UNION!

HELP US make protest signs on Wed @ 4 @ Oak Ridge PROTEST with us at the Board Mtg on Thurs @ 5:30 @ Bernal Students deserve teachers who can afford to live where they work!

Something is wrong with a system where 75% of workers say they’re worried about making ends meet, while greedy corporate CEOs make 285x what their median worker makes. Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we fight back and WIN!

The funds are there. They can afford it!

Students are the priority! #WeAreCTA #WeCantWaitCA #OGEAstrong @weareogea.bsky.social

Oak Grove students are the priority! We fight every day to make sure their needs are met. Join us and our allies in other local chapters and help us win!

The president should not be allowed to occupy US cities with the military. Get the Guard out of DC. #NationalGuard.

The Trump admin’s attempted federal takeover of Washington, DC law enforcement and deployment of the National Guard threatens the freedoms and economic security of working people in the district, including more than 150,000 local union members. America’s unions say: Free D.C.!

No Kings Movement Announces Next Day of Nationwide Actions for Oct 18 www.commondreams.org/news/no-king... #NoKings

Putting money in the salary schedule has a long term impact, boosts retirement benefits, and has an ongoing value.

Oak Grove educators have been paying hundreds more per month for healthcare over the past three years. Management pulled us out of a larger pool to self-insure when these giant increases began. Management has yet to make us whole. #FairContractNow #OGEAstrong @weareogea.bsky.social

Your raise should not be a pay cut.

Today we stood in strong solidarity with our union brothers and sisters from the @thelafed.bsky.social as they led a Labor Day march and rally in LA!

Today, on Labor Day, the California Labor Movement’s presence was bigger than ever! From San Diego to San Francisco, workers took to the streets to be loud and proud! That’s because we have Faith, Fight and Solidarity! #FFS

Something is wrong with a system where 76% of workers say they’re worried to make ends meet, while greedy corporate CEOs make 285x what the median worker does. Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we fight back.

We Can’t Wait for teachers to be able to afford to live where they work. #WeCantWaitCA #WeAreCTA #OGEAstrong

OGEA has joined the “We Can’t Wait” campaign. Thank you, Rep Council!

1.5% is an insult. #OGEAstrong #WeCantWaitCA #WeAreCTA @wearecta.bsky.social

Wear black in protest

Stay strong, OGEA!

The OGEA bargaining team met with management today. We remain far apart on salary and benefits. Check your private email for the bargaining update. #OGEAstrong @weareogea.bsky.social @wearecta.bsky.social

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire does.

Oak Grove School District must do better than this. Fair contract now! @wearecta.bsky.social @weareogea.bsky.social #OGEAstrong

Did you know?

1.5 percent doesn’t pay the rent. @weareogea.bsky.social #OGEAstrong @wearecta.bsky.social

This is a line-in-the-sand moment for every member of Congress who says they support unions. Does your rep stand with workers? Tell them to stop Trump’s union-busting and sign the discharge petition to bring the Protect America’s Workforce Act to a vote! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...

America’s unions will ALWAYS stand in solidarity with federal workers who make sure our essential services run. The Trump administration’s union-busting will NOT silence us—we’re getting even louder. ✊

This is unacceptable. #OGEAstrong

Latest salary offer (6-4-25)

Thursday action.

Workers built this country, and #WorkersDeserve an economy and a country that works for the people, not the billionaires. In the streets, on the shop floor, in union halls and the halls of Congress, we’re fighting for freedom, fairness and security. workerslaborday.org

A star student ripped away from her family by ICE the day before her college graduation? Immoral, unnecessary, and cruel. #EndTheAbductions

When educators, parents, and elected leaders work together, students win. Thanks to community advocacy and pressure from @budzinski.house.gov, critical education funding is finally being released after an unlawful delay by the Trump administration.

One job should definitely be enough. #WeAreCTA
