Friday’s election featured no incumbent, as current president Jesse Sharkey announced in February that he would not be seeking another term following his own election victory in 2019.
Candidates from the Members First and REAL Caucus slates had both accused the current bastion of a lack of transparency in allocating political action committee funds to candidates for state and local races and of devaluing members.
"This particular election saw competing visions from three slates vying for leadership of our union," Sharkey said in a statement."At times these debates could be contentious, but now, as with past elections, our members democratically decided the future of our organization. And now — perhaps more than at any point in the past 12 years that I have served in leadership — it is time for us to come together for healing, and the solidarity that anchors our strength.
REAL Caucus is composed primarily of former CORE members, many of whom are disgruntled with the union’s existing leadership. REAL ran elementary school teacher Darnell Dowd as its presidential candidate and said improving work conditions was its top priority.
