NNPS teachers and staff: make sure to sign your collective bargaining authorization card here!

The NNEA had good turnout for our #Red4Ed action in support of contract negotiations / collective bargaining rights prior to the meeting. During public comments, NNEA President Dr. James Graves presented the NNEA’s collective bargaining resolution to the Board (minute mark 37:24). Many community members spoke in support of contract negotiations as well.

You can help the NNEA win collective bargaining by joining us in #Red4Ed action at 5:45 pm before the next School Board meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 16. You can also assist by contacting School Board members at the email addresses below and asking them to put the NNEA’s collective bargaining resolution on the next Board meeting agenda.
