LFT Endorsements

Louisiana Federation of Teachers and School Employees (LFT), has announced endorsements for the 2019 primary elections. 75 candidates have been selected from around the state who have each demonstrated their commitment to supporting public education issues which influence our schools, our teachers, and our students.

The City Union of Baltimore Retiree Chapter (CUB 800-R) held elections and officer installation on Friday, September 20, 2019. Donald Morris was re-elected President. James Carroll will serve as the Vice President, with Betty Lee as Treasurer and Elizabeth Morris as Secretary.

Our community nurses provide an invaluable service to the public. As with any job however, training is of the utmost importance. Our members want the training they need to do their job well for Marylanders. Following the leadership of president Karen Pilecki the union has been working with Del. Bonnie Cullison to develop training standards and expand on existing training.

Have you ever wondered what union leadership does on their free time, at least when not already explicitly working to support the membership? It's going to conferences to hone our craft!  The 2019 FEA LEADS Conference is certainly no exception.
