Our contract teach-ins

On Monday, Jan. 30, educators participated in contract teach-ins at schools and worksites across the city. They engaged in discussions about the power of our contract in shaping our experience as educators and brainstormed actions your school can organize as part of our fight for the contract we deserve. Our bargaining power is connected to the strength of an informed and engaged membership!
