In the last two years while the district transitioned from having self-funded health care to joining SISC, Nicky has always been one of the most vocal Trustees on our behalf. He listened, he responded to us, and he advocated for us. His efforts helped us keep our traditional medicare- a crucial victory for many of us. He has spoken up at Board of Trustee meetings and has always been very clear and firm about the district's absolute responsibility to honor contractual obligations it has with its employees- thus ensuring that our lifetime health benefits are kept in place.” PRO represents over 350 former Peralta employees from every level of the District’s workforce. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc8e1f403129631666774bf/58759032-9cea-4283-8f62-de15ee13ecc0/building+trades+logo.png Endorsements - Make it stand out The Building and Construction Trades Council of Alameda County is a coalition of 28 affiliated unions representing workers in various construction trades. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc8e1f403129631666774bf/79fd79c5-0cd3-4dcf-a0c8-213ded405062/Iron+Workers+Local+378.png Endorsements - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc8e1f403129631666774bf/22f766a4-003b-485c-80aa-6e2c6896cd98/WellstoneClub.jpeg Endorsements - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.nickygy.org/contact daily 0.75 2020-07-23 https://www.nickygy.org/home daily 1.0 2024-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc8e1f403129631666774bf/1595315995314-RQKUUPC7O1SI6JCI6WQY/SQS_RYAN-HENRY_DK_0260-cropped.jpg Home Nicky (first row, far right) with Campus Camp Wellstone facilitators and organizers-in-training. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc8e1f403129631666774bf/a4b86acd-164d-4705-b8a1-fa4b0573bfb4/Nicky%40Berkeley+City+College+May+2024.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc8e1f403129631666774bf/1595316439882-RH2DPP0XUFDYHSGO6KV2/61113873_10158668660674012_7808098785753563136_n.jpg Home Nicky (2nd from left), with his wife Jude (left), celebrating their daughter Dana’s graduation from Berkeley City College, one of Peralta’s 4 colleges in the East Bay. https://www.nickygy.org/about daily 0.75 2020-04-04 https://www.nickygy.org/support daily 0.75 2024-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569fdefb1115e0973544f708/1456346168299-9S4FEEVE2MDYH38LNLHH/image-asset.jpeg support https://www.nickygy.org/about-1 daily 0.75 2024-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc8e1f403129631666774bf/9757c18a-4f51-48e5-82c1-6ec8842a9724/121995236_10160597439894012_2922947289284386677_n.jpg About I’ve been extraordinarily privileged in my life to work with so many amazing people— students, colleagues, working people, community leaders.
