50 students. In one class.

Teacher working conditions are student learning conditions. @MFT59 educators are striking to demand better for their students. They deserve no less! #MFT4Kids #SafeAndStableMPS #edmnvotes #mnleg

Earlier today I brought resolutions to City Council supporting the workers w/ @MFT59 and @SBWorkersUnited taking labor action.

Both passed unanimously, and I was proud to deliver them to workers, both striking educators in the streets and Starbucks workers at their store.

Voices of Minneapolis teachers with @MFT59 echoing through downtown on third day of strike. Contract negotiations with district officials on raises for support staff, class-size caps and student mental health resources ongoing.

@EarthCog @SahanJournal @Matthew31835286 In 11 of the past 20 years MPS teachers have taken a zero pay increase. The other 9 years, the increases have ranged from 0.5% - 2%. Averaged across all 20 years the increase has been less than 1%.

HAPPENING NOW: Thousands of Minneapolis educators are marching on Lyndale Avenue North to demand smaller class sizes, better mental health support, and higher wages.
