Last Thursday, we won a huge victory in the House of Delegates with the passage of Del. Guzman’s HB 582, a comprehensive bill to permit school employees, nurses, firefighters, and other public workers to engage in collective bargaining with their employers.
Now the fight turns to the Senate.
Urge your Senator to support a strong collective bargaining bill that will give you a voice in the working (and learning) conditions in your school.
Thanks to your hard work, Virginia public schools are among the best in the nation. Yet Virginia teachers are paid $8,500 under the national average. Collective bargaining will give you a voice in the working and learning conditions in your school, as well as in your wages and benefits.
Contact your Senator now!
