Educators who belong to the Tewksbury Teachers Association have been trying to negotiate a new contract since early 2021. In recent months, they have participated in a series of actions to demand fairness, with support from fellow union members in other locals. On Feb. 10, more than 200 TTA members and allies packed a School Committee meeting. Above, members raised their hands as they sought to speak.
