Labor Relations

Our purpose in Labor Relations is to provide support to all employees, employee associations and management through transparent, collaborative communications.  The vast majority of all District employees are represented by an employee association. The associations are set forth below. The District and Associations have committed to purposefully collaborating to move forward Sweetwater Union High School District’s students towards academic success.
