United for Quality Public Education
What does your local association accomplish with your dues?
The Redmond Education Association is the local teachers’ union, supporting approximately 400 certified staff in the Redmond School District. Your union dollars support all members with the negotiation of our collective bargaining agreement (your contract), the advocacy of your employee rights and good working conditions, and the representation of each member’s voice.
What has your association done for members recently?
In addition to day-to-day advocacy, REA is proud of these accomplishments for our members:
- Continued to build/maintain strong relationships with District Superintendent, Human Resources, District Administration, and School Board members.
- Raised salaries: Over the last two bargaining cycles, starting and ending salaries have grown to now be near the highest starting pay and top pay in the region!
-
- Starting at $52,772 (w/ PERS)
-
- Top Salary at $104,752 (w/ PERS)
- Negotiated additional time for all staff to complete necessary workload
- Support REA members and their students with $5,000 in annual scholarships available only for children of REA members
How can you make sure your voice is heard?
Contact one of your building’s union representatives (turn over for list), who will then share your concerns at REA meetings. Your representatives are making sure your voice is heard! Your local union meets once a month (virtually for now). Access the REA web site and submit your concerns or comments using the contact form. www.redmondea.org. You must be a due-paying member to register for the Members Only exclusive content on the web site.
Your union membership means a lot to us! Together we are a strong force for good, not only for our members, but also for our students.
