Our Stewards

Our bargaining unit is spread out all over Cambridge and Boston. To make sure every student worker has a connection to their union, we elect stewards to represent different parts of our membership. Stewards disseminate information to workers across departments, often through regularly recurring meetings and by working together with staff and department reps. Stewards also handle workplace grievances with our Contract Enforcement and Education Committee (CEEC), and generally maintain an active pulse on the issues facing workers across our unit. They can also issue an advisory opinion to our Executive Board with a majority vote and 50 sign-ons from members. If you are looking to support organizing efforts in your program, contact your Steward.

Also: many turfs currently have several vacant Steward positions, so we welcome interest in filling those seats!

I have been actively involved in the union as a steward for the last year. I am also a member of the union’s solidarity committee! My research uses tools from labor economics, economic history, and political economy to further understand the lived experiences of Black Americans throughout U.S. history. Outside of school, I enjoy reading romance novels, watching procedural crime shows like Law and Order: SVU, and finding new places to eat in Boston!

Hi y’all! I’m a G3 PhD at HGSE doing a secondary in Anthropology. My research uses qualitative and ethnographic methods to explore how K12 computing education shapes young people’s worldviews. I’m involved in organizing because I believe the union can be a powerful space to bridge between our local challenges as workers and the broader struggle for justice.
