I retired at the start of 2021 after 33 years working for my union and 37 years as a member. At the time of my Harvard class (2002), I was Deputy General Secretary of the Queensland Teachers Union with responsibility for bargaining, research, member services and a few other things.
After attending the HTUP in 2002, I continued to work on behalf of California teachers as a bargaining specialist with the CTA. I helped bargain contracts in CTA locals all over northern California. I retired in 2006, but continued part-time work under an emeritus contract with CTA until 2010. Fully retired since then.
Since Graduating I continued to work at my Union for 2 years then resigned and took up a Senior Executive Position in a newly government established Corporation for Transport in Sydney, New South Wales.
