It’s thanks to organized labor that we have weekends off, the eight-hour workday, sick leave, workplace safety laws…the list of pro-worker reforms goes on and on. MSEA President Cheryl Bost tells us what being in a union means to her. What does it mean to you?

Students deserve to be safe, especially around & in school. @MSEAeducators mourn w/the educators, students, & families suffering a tragic loss at Mervo. We must address root causes of violence, end easy access to guns, staff schools & communities with mental health providers. 💔
