The fall issue of #Academe, out today, focuses on the status of collective bargaining in higher education and considers the evolving opportunities for faculty unionization. aaup.org/issue/fall-2024
"Today we give thanks on behalf of the tens of thousands of AFT members and their families who can breathe easier knowing someone is in their corner,” said @rweingarten. 🙌That someone is the Biden-Harris administration💚 TYSM @POTUS @VP insidehighered.com/news/governmen…
👊We know #ItsBetterInAUnion -- AFT is now the largest higher ed union in the country, representing 70% of all organized faculty! 🙌
Labor news: Union election petitions shot up 27% in the most recent fiscal year, and they’ve doubled since FY2021, per new NLRB data. “The surge in cases we’ve received in the last few years is a testament to workers knowing and exercising their rights,” says @NLRBGC Abruzzo.
Reminder to be diligent and check your child’s candy on Halloween. Last year, I found a union card in my daughter’s Snickers and she’s renegotiated her allowance and wants hazard pay for taking out the trash.
Public Schools are on the Ballot People! Pay Attention and Vote like your careers and kids education depend on it! @STAUnionHall
Our goal as public school teachers is to teach kids how to think, not what to think. Trump wants to change that- he is threatening funding if they don’t teach what he wants. That’s indoctrination and it’s dangerous. Our kids deserve better.
Soooo true!!!! I want my students to know how to think!

This is how corrupt individuals corrupt. Public education is open everyone. No child is turned away regardless of ability. We teach children how to think for themselves, how to question the info they are reading. Trump's threat of defunding schools is petty and criminal.

Regardless of your political affiliation, closing the Dept. of Ed. to privatize education is a set up for an educational caste system. Education should be the great equalizer, giving all children a chance to receive a quality education, not just the ones who can afford it.
Trump announces he will defund public schools if they don’t obey him as president
Absolutely correct, Randi. And it’s unAmerican. Enough.

Gross! JD Vance's comments are sad and insulting to millions of modern families, and school teachers including Catholic nuns, none of whom should be targeted for their family decisions.
Unearthed audio: JD Vance says teachers who do not have biological children “disorient and really disturb” him: “She should have some of her own [children]”
@VP Thank you Madam Vice President for your courage and commitment to students, faculty, support staff, working families, and the labor movement! Your words and energy are inspiring! You have our full union support in Utah!
Our teachers are visionaries. They see and encourage the potential in every child — and in doing so, shape the future of our nation. To the members of the American Federation of Teachers: Thank you for all you do. It was a joy to be with you today.
That’s a wrap! Thank you AFT for a wonderful 2024 Convention. We hope everyone keeps marching on, and gets home safe. #RealSolutions

Members of AFSCME and other unions joined forces to defeat an anti-worker bill this year in Utah. afsc.me/3T0mX6K

.@SenMarkey champions the cause for paraprofessionals and school-related personnel by introducing the Paraprofessionals and Education Support Staff Bill of Rights. The bill emphasizes fair wages, paid leave, full benefits and safe working conditions. aft.org/news/sen-marke…
Our schools would cease to function without school support professionals. It’s long past time that they were treated with dignity, and made good wages with fair benefits and safe working conditions. It's time for the Paraprofessionals Bill of Rights.
We're live to introduce the Paraprofessionals & Education Support Staff Bill of Rights. Paraprofessionals and education staff are the backbone of our education system—they deserve fair compensation, benefits, and working conditions.
We are used to extremists taking pot shots. We would rather promote real solutions for kids and communities. Which strategy do you think helps kids? aft.org/realsolutions #RealSolutionsForKids
