About WTU’s Contract Campaign
Last year's contract dealt with big issues to get schools reopened safely and ensure educators a baseline level of respect needed to stay in the job, including retroactive pay raises for the past three years when they worked under an expired contract. In this contract, teachers are focusing on sustained, specific support to help make the entire school system safer and more responsive to student needs. Download our two-page summary of WTU’s contract requests here. However, we cannot do this alone.
We need DCPS to take WTU’s #realsolutions seriously. Yet, it took DCPS three months after our contract expired to agree to our 1st contract negotiations date! DCPS continues to threaten to take away current teacher rights from the contract instead of focusing on educational issues affecting students and teachers. Teachers from across the city continue to rally for a new contract! We will not stop! It’s hard to beat a teacher who never gives up!
