Our working conditions are the learning conditions of our students. Our public schools are underfunded, understaffed, and unequal. A culture of fear permeates many schools: education workers are afraid to act in defense of our rights as workers and the rights of our students. But it does not have to be this way: education workers can have a voice in the governance of our education system. Winning collective bargaining is the first step in this process.
