At one point, Sabala and other branch officials were removed from the union’s payroll for publicly opposing the controversial Teacher Professional Development (TPD) program.
Additionally, Sabala has shown interest in running for a senior position in the union’s National Executive Board (NEB) during the 2026 national elections.
