The negotiations for our new contracts this spring are the chance to complete the work that started a year ago when so many of us campaigned to elect the first pro-education majorities to lead state government in a decade. We cannot let this almost once-in-a-generation opportunity get away. https://educationminnesota.org/news/minnesota-educator/presidents-message-now-is-the-time-to-bargain-the-contracts-we-deserve/
