Stand with AFSE: Support Fair Negotiations at NEA
Your voice matters in this critical moment. Stand with AFSE in our fight for fair labor practices and a respectful negotiation process. Let’s show NEA that union values are non-negotiable!
Why Your Letter Matters:
- Highlighting Unfair Labor Practices: AFSE members have been without a contract since June 1st, 2023. We have faced anti-union behavior from NEA including bad faith bargaining, refusal and/or delay in providing information, and coercive actions. Your letter can shine a light on these issues and demand accountability.
- Supporting Key Issues: AFSE members seek to address issues similar to those impacting educators across the country like cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs), recognition of experience through salary steps, and the reduction of temporary positions.
