During the past TSEU General Assembly [details], TSEU members selected and passed the following legislative goals for 2019. While ambitious, we know these goals are attainable if we put in the work, organize our co-workers into the union, and have a unified voice. Contact any TSEU office for details on how YOU can get involved.
