@rweingarten.bsky.social: We are going to treat kids well and we’re going to respect the people who teach them. That’s what we’re honored to be your partner in: Strengthening, not abandoning, the schools and students in the Tar Heel State.
@rweingarten.bsky.social: In this moment; who are the people enabling students to get ahead, and working people to advance? It’s teachers. And that’s why we do what we do.
@rweingarten.bsky.social: This year, we’re working to get new locals their first contracts. it's not just about affiliation - it’s ensuring that a year or two down the road, you see the value in belonging because of what we’ve accomplished together.
@rweingarten.bsky.social: We are unapologetic about creating power for working people through education, labor and elections. Elon Musk has that power. The Big Tobacco folks in NC have that power. Why shouldn’t we?
@rweingarten.bsky.social We know that in the places with collective bargaining, you have more rights. Not just liability rights. When you have a contract, you have more latitude.

Working people have power through education, the ballot box, & the labor movement. And no matter it’s through history, math, or science, education connects peoples’ passion with purpose.
Exciting news from Charlotte, NC: We’re thrilled to announce the American Federation of Professional Educators of North Carolina voted to affiliate with AFT, in a powerful sign Tar Heel educators understand the worth of their labor & want to organize to protect it.

@rweingarten.bsky.social: The other way they have power is through the ballot box and through the union movement. When we don’t have power individually, we have power together.

While all students deserve safe, welcoming schools for relevant, engaging learning, kids with special needs have a right to an education that meets those needs. Their civil rights are being abandoned. McMahon should be ashamed. Thank you to AFGE for exposing this. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...
Caregivers want to be with their patients — but Kaiser’s stonewalling has left them no choice.
We’re sending strength and solidarity to the @ofnhp.bsky.social members who go on strike tomorrow to fight for safe staffing & the care every patient deserves. #OneVoiceOneFightOneFuture
Tomorrow, @ofnhp.bsky.social members will join nearly 45,000 union members on strike to secure a contract that prioritizes patient care. Kaiser caregivers need fair wages, safe staffing & a real voice to deliver the care patients deserve. truthout.org/articles/23-...#OneVoiceOneFightOneFuture
