Support ESL Teachers in Boston!

Jon Cell, School Director, EF Boston & Shamil Mohammed, Director of Operations- East Coast, EF Boston

Teachers at EF's International Language Center in Boston provide quality English instruction to students from around the world and take pride in the work they do -- all they want is fair compensation for that work and the respect they deserve. That's why these teachers are organizing to form a union and join The Newspaper Guild of the Communications Workers of America (CWA). 

Please sign here to ask that EF school administrators respect teachers' right to organize and remain neutral during the union election process, which is scheduled for November 20th.

Dear Jon Cell and Shamil Mohammed,

As you know, a group of your employees want to join The Newspaper Guild, which is part of the Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO.

We, the undersigned, write to ask that you remain neutral in word and deed, allowing your employees to make their own decisions free of either explicit or implicit pressure from their boss. We also urge you to recognize CWA if a majority of your workers sign a union card indicating their desire for representation. As you may know, this procedure called “card check recognition” is quite common.

As members of the community, we have a stake in making sure all workers in Boston, including your teachers, have the right to organize and demand better wages and working conditions. Please be aware that we will continue to support these teachers and monitor this situation as it unfolds.
