Being on the same page, understanding, and supporting a common goal of workplace improvements. These are the reasons it’s important to have general meetings periodically. The more discussions we have, the more prepared and well-informed everyone is so they can act as one voice when action is needed.
Business Agent Tracy Kelley organized and led this general meeting for Zum Drivers at the Oakland Unified School District. He addressed workplace issues in the yard that need to be brought to management’s attention. Some of the more prevalent issues discussed were workers’ comp and modified duty, extra work, safety meetings, training hours, field trips, and ICE enforcement and protocols.
Big shout-out to all the members who showed up to share their thoughts and experiences, and learn more about the challenges that the group faces.
