Ballots cannot be sent to you by mail or interoffice mail.
To be eligible to vote, you must be part of the Education Association of St. Lucie bargaining unit which means you are either instructional, professional technical/specialized (I.T., area transportation manager, OT/PT, cafeteria and custodial managers etc.), or are an education support personnel (non-instructional staff including clerical, paraprofessionals, aides, etc.) You do not have to be a member of the union to vote but you must be represented by the bargaining unit.
You may not vote if you are an executive secretary, custodial or cafeteria staff under the CWA bargaining unit, full/part-time sub, or an employee who is not part of the defined bargaining unit.
Sincerely,
