MSEA’s ESP Bill of Rights campaign is exciting support staff across the state with a focused plan of action for better contracts, pay, and respect. Individual worksites and entire local unions have already endorsed the Bill of Rights but we’re not stopping there. We want 100% of ESPs to know what the Bill of Rights means for all support staff and how we can use it to win at the bargaining table. Applicants should be passionate about racial, social, and economic justice, detail-oriented, committed to the labor movement, and willing to have conversations about the importance of union membership and participation with potential ESP members from diverse backgrounds. No prior union experience is necessary.

ESPs will learn to:

• Sign up new members during one-on-one meetings and in union orientations.
• Advocate for, and answer questions about, worker rights and expectations declared in the MSEA ESP Bill of Rights.
• Conduct one-on-one organizing conversations with potential ESP members with a focus on membership sign-up and building union and leadership capacity for strong contract negotiations, collective actions, site-based advocacy, and more.
• Identify new union leaders and activists.
• Develop and implement internal organizing campaigns Use and maintain organizing lists.
