Hello All,
Thank you again to all who attended Thursday’s AEMI meeting on racial justice. DPE is compiling a list of the equity, diversity, and inclusion efforts that are currently utilized or being planned by AEMI unions. The list will be categorized under the following headings: 1) internal union initiatives, 2) collective bargaining, and 3) contract administration. We are seeking more detail on a few items that were discussed and aim to have that list out to folks ASAP. DPE plans to regularly update and check in with folks regarding the items on the list.
DPE also plans to convene AEMI legislative and policy folks to develop a legislative and policy agenda for 2020 and 2021. They will also discuss relationship building with the Congressional Black Caucus, Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus. Michael Wasser will start this week to get the legislative and policy meeting scheduled.
In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Jennifer
