More than 1,000 new homes are under construction, new businesses are opening their doors, and new families are moving in. The Menifee Union School District sees increased enrollment on the horizon. The Menifee Council of Classified Employees is also expanding. In fact, the CFT recently honored the local for placing second in two categories recognizing member growth: most new members (151) and highest rate of growth (42 percent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p><br>A good part of the credit goes to President Albert Lopez. Since taking office last August, Lopez has focused on convincing fee payers to join AFT Local 6109.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said. \u201cWe let them know about the benefits they would get as members, like being eligible to vote on contracts.\u201d Lopez has an ideal job for reaching employees throughout the district. As a delivery driver, he tools around in a Ford F150 between Menifee\u2019s 10 elementary schools, three middle schools and administration buildings. He is quick to credit former president Robin Espinda for giving the organizing drive a solid foundation \u2014 an audit showing which employees were fee payers and where they worked.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p>The Menifee local represents about 540 custodians, clerical, security, food service, bus drivers, tech aides, health aides and other staff. Espinda realized there was a problem when several coworkers who should have signed union cards when they were hired began asking her how they could join.<\/p>\n\n\n<div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-hero so-widget-sow-hero-default-6e283e92799f so-widget-fittext-wrapper\"\n\t\t\t data-fit-text-compressor=\"0.85\"\n\t\t>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-slider-base\" style=\"display: none\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-slider-images\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-settings=\"{&quot;pagination&quot;:true,&quot;speed&quot;:800,&quot;timeout&quot;:8000,&quot;paused&quot;:true,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:false,&quot;swipe&quot;:true,&quot;nav_always_show_desktop&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;nav_always_show_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;breakpoint&quot;:&quot;780px&quot;,&quot;unmute&quot;:false,&quot;anchor&quot;:null}\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-anchor-id=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t>\t\t<li class=\"sow-slider-image  sow-slider-image-cover\" style=\"visibility: visible;;background-color: #333333;background-image: url(https:\/\/mcce6109.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Logos.jpg)\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-slider-image-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-slider-image-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">CFT 2020<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\t\t\t\t<ol class=\"sow-slider-pagination\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a href=\"#\" data-goto=\"0\" aria-label=\"display slide 1\"><\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-slide-nav sow-slide-nav-next\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" data-goto=\"next\" aria-label=\"next slide\" data-action=\"next\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<em class=\"sow-sld-icon-thin-right\"><\/em>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-slide-nav sow-slide-nav-prev\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" data-goto=\"previous\" aria-label=\"previous slide\" data-action=\"prev\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<em class=\"sow-sld-icon-thin-left\"><\/em>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Menifee Council of Classified Employees is an affiliate of AFT.
