St. Giles Organizing Victory

In a vote of 16 to 5, teachers from St. Giles in San Francisco, an English language school, voted today for Guild representation with the Pacific Media Workers, Local 39521.

The 24 person unit started organizing in November 2014 around issues of low pay, not being paid for prep time, scheduling and job security.

Carl Hall, Kat Anderson and Gloria La Riva from the Pacific Media Workers Guild worked on this campaign along with John Dugan.

Rachel Turner, Jessica Mironov and Shane Baker (l to r) celebrate their NLRB union election victory.
