The rank-and-file organizing of teachers unions around the country has helped us understand that teachers’ working conditions are students’ learning conditions.

The collective bargaining provisions made to public teachers unions across the state, like independent mediation, have not done enough to ensure students and teachers have the right to the most basic of promises including:

• Class size and case-load limits

• A living wage for all school employees

• A fair funding formula, like the Maryland Blueprint, that is free from attack

Join our campaign to stand up for teachers and the communities they serve. We deserve these basic guarantees in our public schools. Without the right to strike, it’s unlikely we’ll ever win them. When we fight for teachers, we fight for students. When we fight for students, we build a better world for us all to live in.
