With more than 300 years of organizing experience, 17 women share our vision for a better future

The Rose Schneiderman leadership skills class at the 40^th UALE Summer School for Union Women is a rich tapestry of various backgrounds and experiences. From workers centers to long time union presidents, from healthcare workers to electrical workers, from the East Coast all the way to California we share a vision for a more equitable future:

Team One

Team one’s vision is to see a more equal playing field for all people: equal opportunity for housing, equal pay for everyone, equal protection under the law no matter their race, equal rights for all families no matter there sexual orientation. In this future we would all work together to preserve the rights of all working people.

Team Two

The theme of equality runs through to team two’s presentation as well. This team highlights the value of equal pay as well but adds to the mix real universal healthcare, education opportunity, and a living wage as the road map for our future.

Team Three

Team three shows us the value of balance in our lives. When we get the balance of a fair wages for our work it results in more time with our families. More time with our families help ensure a safer and happier school environment and future for our kids. Which in turn allows us the peace of mind to continue to do good work for fair pay!

Team Four

Team Four shares the other teams’ visions for fairness for all workers. By creating a society where all experience is valued, all work has dignity, all people have comprehensive healthcare, and there is more diversity across all levels of the work force they feel we could start to see a better society.

The exact details of the plans may differ from group to group but we all share two important things: we are ready to fight for this more equitable future and we all are confident that the UALE summer school will help give them the skills to do so.
