Building Representative Elections

It’s election season in the RTA! Every two years, all Building Representative seats become available, allowing members to run for the position. Each building has a set number of representative spots based on membership, and if more people run than there are spots, we’ll hold an election. This process is how we maintain our union’s strength and ensure that every member’s voice is heard throughout the district.

What Building Reps Do

  • Attend all Executive Board meetings and bring information back to your building.
  • Share Board recommendations and organize monthly building meetings.Hear concerns from members on issues related to working conditions.
  • Maintain a list of unit members and invite potential members to join.
  • Meet with building administration regularly.
  • Be trained in Weingarten Rights and represent members in disciplinary and Level I grievance meetings.
  • Serve a two-year elected term and receive a $1,000 annual stipend 
Elections are a vital part of keeping our union democratic, giving every member the chance to choose their representatives and help shape the direction of our collective work.

Integrated Contract Posted

After many delays, the current contract is now posted above in the Documents menu.

Members should be aware that there is one pending language change related to the paid time off for parental leave, which was settled at a grievance hearing while integration of the MOU language was still ongoing. So, expect one more update.

New Contract Ratified!

Both the RTA and the Revere School Committee voted to adopt the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) settled in November 2024. We are now in the process of integrating the MoA’s changes into the existing Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA or “contract”), to create a document which will continue in force until June 30, 2028.

Until the process of integrating the changes is complete, the changes from the MoA are in effect, along with all unchanged parts of the expired CBA. Please consult both the contract and the MoA when trying to determine contractual rights and responsibilities.

The City of Revere will begin implementing the pay raises from the MoA in early 2025, including making retroactive payments for the first 20+ weeks of the school year. This includes the Cost of Living increase of 3.75% for all members, $500 longevity increase for those with at least 10 years in the bargaining unit, and the move from Step 0 to Step 1 for first year teachers (since Step 0 is now eliminated).

All members should consult the salary tables in the MoA to confirm accurate pay once these changes go into effect.
