Cranford Education Association — Representing Public School Employees

Two leaders from the local education union share information about the labor organization and their journeys as educators.

Throughout this summer labor unions have been in the news; writers on strike, actors walking picket lines, and autoworkers shutting down production, are three of the more prominent examples. Here in Cranford, most public school employees are represented by the Cranford Education Association.

In this week's podcast I speak with CEA President Kevin Jala and Recording Secretary Colleen McDonald to learn more about the organization as well as the two teachers themselves.
