WAU Strike School

Sign up for Strike School

The Bargaining Team is working hard to reach an agreement with administration on a contract. Much of the contract is in tentative agreement, which you can see here. But after months of negotiations, we have reached sticking points around the finances. In order for us to prepare for the fall, and what could be drawn out negotiations, it is critical that we educate ourselves and be strike-ready. We are launching WAU Strike School followed by an All-Member Escalation Planning Retreat on August 7.

At Strike School you will:

  • Understand your power & how to wield union power.

  • Learn about types and purposes of various job actions.

  • Lay the foundation for a risk analysis by learning about Michigan/public employee labor law.

  • Review OUR plan to win.

  • Prepare to talk to each other and colleagues not attending Strike School about the importance of strike-readiness, to mobilize as many WAU members as possible.

Strike School will be one hour sessions on Zoom — all sessions are the same, choose one:

  • 9 am 

  • 12 pm 

  • 7pm

Wednesday, July 31
