New Leadership At Guild Staff Union

January 16th was the deadline to submit nominations for your Unit Chair, Vice Chair, and Secretary. The only nominations received were Elaine Lindsay for Chair, Leah Tedrick-Moutz for Vice Chair and Karen Young for Secretary. So, Elaine, Leah, and Karen have been elected. Congratulations!

Elaine, Leah, and Karen would like to thank outgoing Chair Susan DeCarava, outgoing Vice-Chair Alexis DiVincenti, and former Secretary Sean Stevenson for their service to our members.  They began organizing our staff union in late 2005 and first achieved recognition in January 2006.  We all know about the many ups and downs, the long nights of negotiations, and tense moments of confrontation with management that have happened since then.  Susan, Alexis and Sean remained steadfast and courageous, and brought us where we are today, with a contract that is implemented (if not signed), and the union protections we all need and deserve.

We look forward to our continued work together as a unit, strengthening the bonds we’ve already forged.  Here’s to a bright and productive New Year.

In solidarity,
Elaine, Leah, Karen, Susan and Alexis
