31^st Annual Evening with Labor

Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO

The JC Turner Award for Outstanding Trade Unionist of the Year is proudly presented to our own Doris Reed, shown here with Joslyn Williams, the Metro Council's President and Dinner Chairman, Fred Allen.

Doris' first dedication of labor is to ASASP where she has served for the last 17 years as Executive Director. In addition to and to the advantage of her commitment to ASASP, Doris supports Metropolitan Washington Council AFL-CIO activities as an active Executive Board member. Whether it has been keeping a protective eye out for labor in Prince George's County, working in solidarity with the other school unions, turning out the troops for endorsed-candidate campaigns, participating actively in endorse-ment interviews or rallying participants in labor protests, Doris has been the epitome of a labor leader. She has also made sure ASASP supports the efforts of the Community Services Agency (CSA) and has come up with a creative means of financial support - making contributions to CSA in the name of members who pass on. She has been instrumental in promoting the return of Career and Technical Education with PGCPS, especially in the area of construction and apprenticeship.

Tony Perez of the United Food Commercial Workers Union Local 400 congratulates Doris and James Allen, who received the COPE award for outstanding assistance and support to the Metro Council's political program in a volunteer capacity.

Several ASASP members joined in the celebration held at the Washington Hilton on March 22. James Smallwood ASASP President and Vice President Dwayne Jones would not have missed the chance to say - that's our Doris!

Our Doris is a solid trade unionist through and through.

Don't let the smile fool you! She will kick butt for labor!

ASASP President James Smallwood joined Board of Education Chair Verjeans Jacobs, John Deasy, Superintendent of Schools and PGCEA President Donald Briscoe to announce the first list of 12 eligible schools to pilot a groundbreaking voluntary pay-for-performance program - Financial Incentive Rewards for Supervisors and Teachers (FIRST).

James declared, "As President of ASASP, I am supportive of the FIRST concept provided that fair and equitable criteria can be established and implemented to reward teachers and supervisory personnel who have demonstrated achievement of these pre-determined set of criteria. Further, these identified criteria should be developed by an impartial committee including members of ASASP and PGCEA."

What one state could not get alone, what one miner against a powerful corporation could not achieve, can be achieved by the union.

--Mary H. Jones

ASASP is a labor union -- we purpose to give our members a voice in decisions that affect their jobs. Among other items, we negotiate for wages, health benefits and better working conditions. Unionized workers get more pay and better benefits than employees who do comparable work but do not belong to a union.

Professionally Speaking

Much has been written and much has been said about the right of self-determination. Yet, in the quiet corridors of public education institutions, most administrators and supervisors have become passive participants in those issues that most positively and/or negatively impact their livelihood.

Swirling around you are the national, state, & local tides of "accountability" for which you have had little or no input. Nevertheless,.......
