Needless to say, it’s a busy time, and there’s a lot going on. Many AFT Massachusetts locals are in active bargaining, working to build the skills and power they need to win big for members as cities and towns grapple with the consequences of losing millions in federal dollars for public education. Federal policy changes are causing real harm for our students, our members, and institutions—both public and private.
We’ve got a plan—but it’s going to take all of us acting in solidarity.
That’s why we need you to join us for our virtual Fall Town Hall on Thursday, October 16th at 5:15pm! We’ll cover the work being done here and nationwide and launch some exciting events and resources we’ve built to help you and your local fight for a better future.
