Keep in close communication with your NDU Field Consultant.
The more informed and engaged NDU staff are throughout the negotiations process, the more helpful we can be. It’s always better to be proactive, rather than reactive. Communicate with your field consultant early and often.
Engage in the negotiations process.
There is a role for each member to play in the negotiations process. The more active and engaged our membership is, the more power we hold to make and influence decisions.
Respond to surveys, attend member meetings, and observe negotiations sessions—they are open, public meetings. Share what you’re seeing, hearing, and learning with your fellow NDU members.
Negotiations start at the Legislature.
Our school districts and local education associations can negotiate salary, benefits, and working conditions, but it’s important to remember that districts receive funding determined by the Legislature. Your vote affects school funding, which has a direct impact on your your salary.
