"From Pandemic to Promise: Re-Imagining Our Schools"
Negotiations of our next union contract have begun with the school system. We are taking a bold new approach in our open negotiations called "bargaining for the common good".

Bargaining for the Common Good (BCG) is an innovative approach to bargaining where public-sector unions use contract fights to organize local stakeholders around a set of demands that benefit not just the bargaining unit, but also our students and the broader community.

Our theme for our bargaining platform is "From Pandemic to Promise: Re-Imagining Our Schools". This first session will focus on Reducing Unsustainable Workload on Educators.
