From Our President

At the end of January, the MTA — along with the NEA, State Revenue Alliance, other NEA affiliates and the AFT — organized a convening to help unions and community groups from other states strategize on how to be more like Massachusetts. That is, we shared how our members won the Fair Share Amendment in 2022, and what it has done since for our Commonwealth.

As the new school year begins, members are invited to celebrate and defend unions and public education through Labor Day marches in Boston and Holyoke.

We spent much of the week in Woburn supporting the incredible members of the Woburn Teachers Association during their contract negotiations, as they showed remarkable solidarity on their road to a tremendous victory for their students, schools, and members – the public school educators of Woburn. They made history this week.
