📢It's true. @NEAToday management walked away from the table last night, canceled the YRO conference, and sent all of AFSE home. Tell NEA you will not stand for union busting, ESPECIALLY from the largest teacher's union in the country! #FairContractNOW

Unbelievable.
After walking away from the bargaining table, #NEA management LOCKED OUT its own unionized staffers.
@AFSE_NEA members deserve better.
@NEAToday members deserve better.
The labor movement deserves better.

@AFSE_NEA The members of the Malden Education Association stand in solidarity with you in your continued struggle for a fair contract. We call on @NEAToday to get back to the table IMMEDIATELY and end this crisis.
.@AFSE_NEA members empower NEA members & support affiliate staff every. single. day.
I know firsthand. I was both.
Now I couldn’t be more proud to stand with them as an @NEAStaffUnion & @NSO_now member.
You can stand with AFSE, too. Take action now. https://t.co/UxjJG3cA3x
How do you spell solidarity? NSO! Our NEA union siblings of the National Staff Organization imposed sanctions on the NEA today calling on NSO members to "boycott any events or programs of NEA until further notice." ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏾
November 10, 2023 Update on AFSE Negotiations with NEA: Effective immediately, the National Staff Organization imposes sanctions on NEA due to its failure to reach a tentative agreement with the Association of Field Staff Employees (AFSE) at its bargaining session yesterday.
Working families move the world—and all working people deserve the solidarity and representation of a union. Happy #LaborDay from America's largest labor union! #1u
...and value the education union staff who support educators every day, including NEA's field staff union, AFSE, that has been working without a contract for three months and is fighting unfair labor practices from @BeckyPringle's management.
4/4 As a membership, we have entered a vote of no confidence in Jim Testerman’s leadership and have called for his removal from the table in order to move forward. Every worker deserves a fair contract, including a union’s organizers! #AFSEStrong#HotUnionSummer
1/4 The field organizers at NEA value the work we do to support our nation’s educators, but the tone at the table suggests NEA doesn’t value us.
As you know, we have been working without a contract since June 1, 2023.
3/4 Jim Testerman is the senior-most manager on management’s bargaining team. Our prolonged negotiations with this team under Testerman’s leadership indicate that management is unwilling to bargain productively and in good faith.
