The Indiana Professional Staff Organization (IPSO), the union representing professional staff at the Indiana State Teachers Association (ISTA), is facing a serious moment.

ISTA recently moved to terminate the elected President and Vice President of IPSO. These actions raise serious concerns about retaliation, transparency, and respect for collective bargaining.

IPSO members are the professionals who support educators across Indiana—helping negotiate contracts, represent members, and strengthen local unions. This isn’t just an internal issue. It impacts union values, member services, and the integrity of our movement.
