This attitude that teachers are babysitters is part of what is driving good people out of and away from the profession. It’s an outrage that he is even an endorsed nominee for Gov. “I've Never Seen Something Like this Before": Ramaswamy's Latest Meltdown https://t.co/csmwNZ5RGO

For over a year, @DrAmyActon has been meeting with Ohioans to hear and understand their issues. Her commitment to the people of Ohio is beyond compare! https://t.co/OV5zA6Gvyb

This is what happens when politicians recklessly pass laws to advance their own anti-public education agenda. Longstanding local working relationships are destroyed. Educators and students suffer the harm. https://t.co/eE19mPM3iO

Please read this story! Sen. Cirino’s comments would be comical if they were not so blatantly tone deaf! Was he not listening when over 1,000 people testified about the negative impacts of SB1? Or did he just not care?!

An out-of-state university is exploiting state Senate Bill 1 to lure Ohio students to its campus: https://t.co/VYutIg4FZI

Take action today!

[Ohio Fed. of Teachers @OFTunion]

This budget is a disaster for children, families, and communities, with numerous bad faith attacks on public education, public libraries, educators, and unions.

Take action today and tell Governor DeWine to veto the worst parts of this bill.

Collective bargaining is how we shape better universities and quality higher education for students, faculties, and communities. So proud of the work our members at Miami University did to secure their FIRST union contract! Congratulations @famiamioh! @AAUP @OFTUnion

[Ohio Fed. of Teachers @OFTunion]

Congratulations to @famiamioh on reaching a tentative agreement for their groundbreaking first contract! These professors and academic librarians will now have a voice & a union contract that preserves academic freedom and job security!

OFT President @mcropper1 in The @limanews:
"The worst effects [of private school vouchers] would be felt in Ohio’s rural communities because rural districts are more dependent on state funding & don’t have the density to support competing school systems."

Breaking news! Welcome SEIU. With SEIU back in the AFL-CIO, we’re stronger together. This is great news for our movement and for everyone who wants to form a union to make the goal of a better life and a better America a reality.

[Liz Shuler @LizShuler]

We’re thrilled to welcome the 2 million service and care workers of @SEIU into the AFL-CIO. This is a historic day for the labor movement and for workers all across the country. There is power in unity!
