After impasse, Prince George's finalizes agreement with teachers union

The Prince George's school system and its teachers union ratified a new three-year contract last week that will boost teacher pay and increases time for teachers to plan lessons, [link removed] reports The Washington Post. "A lot of [the contract] helps start to give more control of the profession back to the educators, and starts to set the stage for our educators to have more autonomy and voice in their own profession," said PGCEA President Dr. Donna Christy. Under the contract, teachers will get a 6 percent cost-of-living increase during the first fiscal year, which began July 1. It will be followed by a 4 percent increase the following year, and an additional 3 percent increase during the third fiscal year, beginning July 1, 2024.


Staff for Rep. Andy Levin form first ever Congressional office union

The federal labor movement reached a major milestone on Monday after staff in the office of Rep. Andy Levin (D-Mich.) voted to unionize, creating the first congressional office union in history. The vote was unanimous, according to Congressional Workers Union, an independent organization created to represent the staffers of Congress. [link removed] Read more in the Federal Times.

Labor Quote: The Industrial Worker

"Capitalists of America, we will fight against you, not for you! There is not a power in the world that can make the working class fight if they refuse."

From an IWW newspaper, the Industrial Worker, published just before the U.S. declaration of war in 1917.
