I’m heartbroken at the loss of AFT family members Beatrice Ferrari & Gina Pellettiere. I am thinking of their families, colleagues, students, and surviving passengers. May your passion for music bring you strength. usatoday.com/story/news/nat…

Our children just want to be safe. Our children just want to be safe. Our children just want to be safe. Our children just want to be safe. Our children just want to be safe. Our children just want to be safe. Our children just want to be safe. Our children just want to be safe.

The NTA is restarting its Ed R&D program after a 2yr pandemic hiatus. This nat'ly recognized AFT program helps tchrs improve their effectiveness and sharpen classroom management skills. The NTA will train members to deliver high-quality PD to their colleagues through the NTC.

Congrats to Kylene D’Alfonso, Melinda Martinez, Alaina McKay, & Carolyn Rinaldi on becoming Certified Professional Learning Providers at AFT’s Summer Educator Acad! This union event provided PD on the complexities of teaching. These 4 teachers will now train other NTA members.

Our international convention delegation and @rweingarten are at the @EMKInstitute with @shopgood, @JessJTang and others to talk about the issues facing democracy at home and abroad. #IAmAFT #ReclaimOurFuture

@Starbucks Support unions. Start one.

This is your sign to try something new today, even if it's only mixing up your coffee order. 🌸

Starbucks corporate is misrepresenting our bargaining process to partners around the country, even telling them we aren't seeking economic improvements. To clear up the misinformation, here are the first economic proposals we have submitted to the company!

EXCLUSIVE: Starbucks is attempting to force out the union leaders at its Buffalo stores. Workers at the first unionized Starbucks say the company is pushing unprecedented schedule changes that would mean they "don't fit the needs of the business." perfectunion.us/starbucks-atte…

Union values are American values. We wish you a happy and safe #FourthOfJuly.

According to our recent study, the pressures of teaching during the pandemic weighed so heavily on educators that one in four teachers said they were likely to leave their jobs by the end of the 2020-21 school year.  cbsnews.com/news/teachers-…

"To all you educators and school staff out there — thank you for your work over this past year," says NYSUT President @AndyPallotta. "You did a great job. It’s my privilege to represent people like you who make a difference in people’s lives." wamc.org/post/andrew-pa…

Goldback Nation...mask wearing in schools is still a requirement by the New York State Department of Health & remains in place tomorrow. Our scholars, faculty, and staff will have to wear masks to school until the state formally changes the school mask mandate. @newburghschools

You can send your own letter here. Tell your member of Congress to take a stand. Tell them that they need to publicly oppose Marjoire Taylor Greene being seated on the education committee. actionnetwork.org/letters/ea1209…

.@BeckyPringle and I sent this letter today to @GOPLeader making it clear that America’s teachers are watching. Marjorie Taylor Greene does not belong on the education committee.   aft.org/sites/default/…
