  • Rank-and-File Member Input: Actively gather input and lived experiences from union education workers with disabilities across the state.
  • Barrier Identification: Identify specific barriers that members with disabilities encounter in their workplaces, included, but not limited to lack of accommodations, inaccessible materials and workplace discrimination.
  • Actionable Recommendations: Develop concrete and actionable recommendations for improving accessibility and disability inclusion within the MTA.
