Non-Teaching School Workers to Switch Unions
- Share via
Non-teaching employees in Inglewood schools have voted decisively to decertify their longtime union, the California School Employees Assn., and replace it with an affiliate of the AFL-CIO, according to recent election results.
Employees voted to replace CSEA, which has represented the approximately 500 classified employees for more than a decade.
The new representative is California Professional Education Employees (CalPro), a division of the International Brotherhood of Painters and Allied Trades.
CalPro organizer Christopher Graeber said CSEA had been slow to respond to employee complaints. But Ophelia Jackson, local president of CSEA, said the decertification had resulted from employee misinformation.
