“I am a union member because it is democracy in action. Being a part of a union ensures that you are a part of a collective, working to protect our rights & create positive change in your working environment.”
Richard Sanchez

Social Studies teacher, North Arvada Middle School & proud JCEA bargaining team member

“I joined JCEA to invest in my career and help advocate for our profession. As the son of a proud IBEW union worker, I came to see the union as a community and I believe in the strength of a unified community working towards a common goal. I’m proud to be JCEA because it represents that community that made me want to make a home in Jeffco.”
