If the can pay to turn on the AC at Shoreline Center while the schools stay hot, they can compensate SESPA.

SESPA employees are at the heart of our schools and deserve a living wage.

Tonight the 10 th of September we voted to strike if a tentative agreement is not reached by Sunday 8pm. Teachers strike with us! Saturday we meet to plan strike captains for each school.

If our school board ever spent time in our schools they wouldn’t be questioning the value of SESPA employees and would insist on paying them a living wage.
