The Boston Teachers Union membership has overwhelmingly voted to ratify the three-year contract agreement with @BostonSchools retroactive to September 1st, 2024.

ICE agents arrested Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts grad student, legal visa holder & @SEIU union member, because they disagreed with an op-ed she wrote. We join SEIU in rejecting the Trump admin's attack on our union sibling & affirm our commitment to due process & the rule of law.

The Trump administration wants to make painful cuts to education and healthcare in order to slash taxes for billionaires. Join us in the fight to #ProtectOurKids: aft.org/portectourkids

ICYMI: "A majority of the 1,000 auto workers at the car battery park Blue Oval in Glendale, Kentucky, have signed union cards to join the United Auto Workers." — @Lfelizleon via @labornotes labornotes.org/2024/11/kentuc…

Paraprofessional Devin Clark was one of dozens of BTU members to testify last night urging the School Committee to agree to a contract that pays paraprofessionals what they deserve. Our schools should not rely on the labor of workers forced to have multiple jobs to survive!

Last night more than 200 BTU members filled the school committee chamber to continue to fight for a fair contract that our schools deserve. It’s past time our students with the highest needs are supported and our lowest paid workers are valued!

.@BTU66 is in the house! In the world class @CityofBoston, it's not to much to ask that @BostonSchools teachers and paraprofessionals receive a contract that is fair to them and good for children! @MayorWu @BosCityCouncil

Packed house for @BTU66 contract solidarity at tonight's school committee meeting. Teachers deserve a contract and students deserve schools with full staffing!

The Boston School Committee is on. More 100 BTU members have shown up in person to show solidarity for our contract proposal. Testimony begins w/ @AFTMass prez Jessica Tang explaining that in her new role, she has seen no other district take BPS approach to inclusive education

BTU members held the largest walk-in action of the year today, calling on @BostonSchools to settle a fair contract that gives educators the tools to help ALL of our students thrive. BTU educators have been working w/o a contract for 75 DAYS!

Massachusetts friends and @UAWRegion9A members: Remember to Vote No on Question 3. Drivers deserve a union that will democratically represent them, not a shortcut that Uber/Lyft support #mapoli bostonglobe.com/2024/10/13/bus…

Last night, BTU members held a stand-out on Day Blvd. to raise awareness about the struggles paras face each day just to make ends meet. It is impossible to survive in Boston on a starting salary that barely breaks 30k. Many of our paras work multiple jobs just to get by.

After months of advocacy from BTU members, the district presented its first proposal that addresses the use of its forced one teacher/multiple license approach to Inclusion on Oct. 8th Our next session is scheduled for Oct. 17th

Today's Postcard to the Mayor: English High Teacher Emily Silas calls on the district to commit the necessary resources to ensure our Inclusion Done Right vision becomes a reality.

Check out @boston25 coverage from Tuesday when the BTU delivered thousands of educators' hand-written postcards to the Mayor calling for Inclusion Done Right, Equitable Pay and a Fair Contract! boston25news.com/news/boston-te…
