AALA/TEAMSTERS LOCAL 2010NEWSLETTER2 3AUGUST 4, 2025AUGUST 4, 2025OUR TIME IS NOW!across regions when it comes to Extra Duty Pay (EDP). Why does one region apply one standard while another uses a different one? When does EDP apply? When do ﬂex hours kick in? These inconsistencies are unnecessary and harmful. We demand clarity and uniformity so that all administrators are treated equally and fairly. (Click HERE for video clip)We cannot afford to continue operating in a system that fails to value the essential contributions of both administrators and teachers. Effective schools require partnership—and both parties deserve fair compensation and respect.On a positive note, we are excited to announce the opening of our AALA/Teamsters Local 2010 “Get Your Gear” online store! (CLICK HERE)Show your unity—wear your gear with pride! As we continue our CBA work, and organize and mobilize as needed, this gear will be a symbol of our shared strength and solidarity as we demand systemic change and advocate for a culture that reﬂects value, dignity, respect, and equity for middle management.Scan this QR code and wear your AALA Teamsters Local 2010 with pride!In Solidarity and Unwavering Resolve,MariaAs you may recall, towards the end of the school year, I introduced our Our Time Is Now campaign centered around our guiding principle: One Vision, One Voice, Together Stronger. This motto continues to anchor us as we advance through the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) process with LAUSD. (CLICK HERE).The concerns and issues we raise come directly from you—the voices in the ﬁeld. I have had the privilege of meeting many of you in person and listening to the speciﬁc challenges facing your departments and units. Now, it’s time to take action.This is exactly what your CBA Team—both Certiﬁcated and Classiﬁed—is doing: showing determination, courage, and unapologetic advocacy to represent you, our Brothers and Sisters.I urge you to review our campaign to understand how we aim to support our members through a more intentional and strategic framework. We are standing together in unity, stronger than ever, and we will be relentless in our goal to secure an equitable contract—one that addresses workload, working conditions, and fair compensation for all union members.I urge Superintendent Carvalho to recognize that the district‘s success is built on the backs of subordinates running on empty—executing his Strategic Plan while achieving accelerated results for all students. Despite personal sacriﬁce and long hours, our leaders persist in serving their schools and communities.Yet, administrators remain undervalued and underpaid. Many are working 60+ hours a week, sacriﬁcing work-life balance and mental health, without the recognition or compensation they deserve. This is not sustainable.Administrators need equitable compensation for the additional hours they put in. How is it that teachers receive an hourly rate for work beyond their contracted day, while administrators—also salaried employees—receive nothing? What more must an administrator do to receive fair compensation?Let me be clear: this campaign continues our unwavering ﬁght for fair and equitable working conditions for all. It sets a uniﬁed language, shared understanding, and clear expectations for our collective bargaining efforts. I remain committed to securing the strongest possible contract language and protections for every one of you.Just this week, I received an email from a member who made the difﬁcult decision to self-demote after nearly 10 years of successful service as an LAUSD administrator. Their reason: unsustainable workloads, a lack of stafﬁng support, and 60–80-hour workweeks—all without one hour of additional pay or ﬂex time. This member, like many others, gave their all to the role, but the cost to physical and mental health became too high.This is not an isolated incident. It is a reﬂection of a systemic failure. The academic progress Superintendent Carvalho proudly celebrated during the Opening of Schools has come at a great personal cost to our dedicated administrators.At the June 3, 2025, Board meeting, I addressed the lack of consistency OUR TIME – PAGE 3OUR TIMEFROM PAGE 2The Unit J Negotiations Team met with Labor Relations on Wednesday, July 30, 2025.

Interest Group Contact Information14 District Announcements15 Interest Groups News You Can UseWEEK OF AUGUST 4, 2025CONTENTSAALA/TEAMSTERS NEWSI come from a family rooted in working-class struggle and union pride. My great-grandfather was a Teamster who delivered ice cream by horse and carriage through the streets of Quincy, Massachusetts. My great-grandmother marched in the historic Bread and Roses Strike of 1912, standing alongside thousands of immigrant women mill workers to demand not only fair pay and shorter hours, but recognition of their dignity as working people. Their courage won most of their demands and secured the nation’s ﬁrst laws limiting child labor and mandating overtime pay.My grandmother carried that spirit forward through her work in a worker-owned cooperative, while my grandfather served as a Teamsters shop steward in the trucking industry. My father worked with the TSA and was an active member of the American Federation of Government Employees. That legacy is the foundation of everything I do.For over a decade, I have stood alongside working families in K–12 and higher education, leading dozens of organizing campaigns, defending members in complex grievances and unjust disciplinary cases, and negotiating contractual improvements that made a real difference in people’s lives. I have trained hundreds of new union activists, built bargaining committees, and helped locals reclaim their strength from the ground up.I hold degrees in Labor Studies and Psychology, and I approach this work with a deep commitment to solidarity, justice, and the belief that working people, organized and united, are the primary agents of change. I bring a blend of strategic thinking and emotional intelligence, working to resolve conﬂicts, build coalitions, and unlock the full potential of our collective power.Over a century after my great-grandmother’s strike, we are ﬁghting similar battles. Big business interests are actively working to roll back child labor protections in a coordinated national effort, state by state. The eight-hour workday, once a radical demand by people who risked everything, is still out of reach for too many. For public school administrators, the expectation to give endlessly of themselves has become normalized, leading to burnout and a dangerous erosion of work-life balance. The ﬁght for reasonable work hours isn’t a luxury; it’s a ﬁght for our well-being and our future.The women of Lawrence marched under a banner that read, “We want bread, but we want roses, too.” That message still resonates. The phrase speaks to a vision of justice that includes the right to a full and digniﬁed life. Hearts starve as well as bodies. We deserve to thrive, not just survive. Today, that means reclaiming reasonable hours for those still denied them, such as school administrators who are expected to give endlessly without reprieve. It means defending hard-won rights and expanding what’s possible through collective struggle.I’m honored to stand with you in that ﬁght. But no union representative, no steward, and no staff member can do it alone. AALA Teamsters 2010 isn’t a separate external entity; it’s you and your colleagues, standing shoulder to shoulder. It’s every one of us who chooses to show up, speak up, and ﬁght for each other. We need members who view our union not as a service, but as an extension of themselves, and as a vehicle for meaningful change. We need working people who take ownership of their union, who claim it as a force for dignity in their lives, and who commit to making it stronger when it falls short.Meet Robert DeWitz, Labor Representative – Teamsters Local 2010DEWITZ – PAGE 6

AALA/TEAMSTERS LOCAL 2010NEWSLETTER8 9AUGUST 4, 2025AUGUST 4, 2025Federal vaccine advisers are recommending that nearly everyone roll up their sleeves for a ﬂu shot this fall. This same recommendation has been made for more than a decade to help prevent illness from the common respiratory bug that killed as many as 130,000 people in this country’s most recent ﬂu season.But this year’s inﬂuenza guidance comes with a twist: The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), with all new members that Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently appointed, said June 26 that people should get a ﬂu vaccine free from thimerosal, leaving many to wonder what that ingredient is and how it might affect their annual trip to the doctor’s ofﬁce or pharmacy.The good news: This recommendation, ofﬁcially accepted as federal health policy on July 23, “is going to affect almost no one,” says Jodie Guest, an infectious disease expert and professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health. That’s because the vast majority of ﬂu shots given in the U.S. are already thimerosal-free.You don’t need to ask for a thimerosal-free ﬂu shot or worry they will be in short supply this fall, says Amesh Adalja, M.D., a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and an adjunct assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “Literally, this is a nonissue,” he says.Here’s what you need to know about thimerosal and why a ﬂu shot is so crucial for older adults. What is thimerosal?Thimerosal is a mercury-based preservative used for decades to help prevent vials containing more than one dose of vaccine from becoming contaminated. Multidose vials are commonly used in developing countries, where resources are limited.“It was put into our vaccines in order to keep them safe because at one point in time, there were cases of bacterial infections from multidose styles of vaccines,” Guest says. “This is something that was added in order to make sure that can’t happen, that you don’t get a bacterial infection from a vaccine.”Thimerosal contains ethylmercury, which is different from the mercury found in certain ﬁsh, known as methylmercury, that can be toxic at high levels, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).These different forms of mercury differ by one carbon atom, says Bruce Gellin, M.D., an infectious disease specialist, epidemiologist and senior adviser to Georgetown University’s Global Health Institute. “And molecules matter.”Ethylmercury “is cleared from the human body more quickly than methylmercury and is therefore less likely to cause any harm,” the CDC says.How common is thimerosal in our ﬂu vaccines?HEALTHCARE FAQS — WILL NEW VACCINE RECOMMENDATIONS AFFECT YOUR FALL FLU SHOT?FLU SHOT– PAGE 9About 94 percent of the U.S. vaccine supply for the 2024-25 ﬂu season was thimerosal-free, according to the CDC. And thimerosal hasn’t been used in routine childhood vaccines since 2001.“It’s only in multidose vials,” Guest says, “and so it’s actually going to affect very few of the [ﬂu vaccine] vials that are out there.”Multidose vials may be used where space is limited and you can’t store many single-use vials, Adalja says. “But it’s not something that you see being used very frequently at doctors’ ofﬁces or pharmacies.”Vaccine manufacturers have conﬁrmed that adult vaccine supplies will remain uninterrupted, according to an HHS news release.Though the new recommendation won’t affect most people in the U.S., Cody Meissner, M.D., a member of the seven-person ACIP committee who opposed the vote to recommend only thimerosal-free ﬂu shots, noted in the June 26 meeting that “the recommendations that the ACIP makes are followed [by] many countries around the world.”“Removing thimerosal from all vaccines that are used in other countries, for example, is going to reduce access to these vaccines and increase cost,” Meissner added.Globally, around 1 billion cases of seasonal inﬂuenza occur annually, including 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness, the World Health Organization estimates.Is thimerosal safe?Scientists have been studying thimerosal in vaccines for many years, the CDC says, and they have found no evidence it causes harm.“Thimerosal use in vaccines and other medical products has a record of being very safe,” the public health agency says.Research has not established a link between the preservative and autism or evidence of neuropsychological effects. Still, as a precaution, the U.S. started phasing out its use in childhood vaccines decades ago.That decision “was made not because there was any evidence of harm from thimerosal,” Meissner said during the June 26 ACIP meeting. “It was made in an effort … to reduce the total exposure to mercury in our environment. That’s a reasonable objective.”He continued, “The ACIP makes recommendations based on scientiﬁc evidence as much as possible, and there is no scientiﬁc evidence that thimerosal has caused a problem.”Expert groups such as the American College of Physicians, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) issued statements criticizing this break from the usual scientiﬁc process.“There is no new scientiﬁc evidence warranting a change in recommendations for thimerosal-containing ﬂu vaccines,” the NFID said in its statement. Experts stress the importance of ﬂu shots for older adultsFlu hospitalizations last year were the highest in more than a decade, new data shows. The virus sent an estimated 770,000 people to the hospital during the 2024-2025 season. Without vaccines, CDC scientists estimated, an additional 240,000 hospitalizations would have occurred, 170,000 in adults ages 65 and older.“The virtually nonexistent risks of thimerosal in ﬂu vaccines pale in comparison to the real risks posed by ﬂu each year in the U.S.,” the NFID said in its statement.Adalja says, “There’s been zero documented risk from thimerosal, whereas we know that ﬂu will kill tens of thousands of people every year, hospitalize hundreds of thousands and infect millions in the United States. So there’s no comparison in the risks. One is zero, and one is signiﬁcant.”Experts recommend that older adults, who are more susceptible to the ﬂu and its complications, receive a high-dose version of the ﬂu shot for extra protection.Between 70 and 85 percent of seasonal ﬂu–related deaths occur in adults 65 and older, the CDC says. “Flu shots are safe, and they are a great way to stay safe when the ﬂu season begins,” Emory University’s Guest says.The CDC says the best time for most people to get vaccinated is September and October.FLU SHOTFROM PAGE 8Written by Rachel Nania , an award-winning health editor and writer at AARP.org, who covers a range of topics including diseases and treatments.https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/fall-ﬂu-vaccine-changes-thimerosal/
