I hope students, faculty and Morgantown residents are getting a clear idea of who is on what side here. Either you stand with Gee and his corporate hatchmen or you stand with students, workers and the community, it's that simple.

There are zero schools closed for extreme heat in Columbus, and that’s because teachers went on strike last year to win A/C in every classroom across 110 buildings. I’m sure the op-ed applauding teachers unions for keeping kids in school is right around the corner.

Tomorrow!

HEA educators and RWA friends rally for collective bargaining in Henrico Public Schools!

Brother Izzy Velasquez (IBEW 666 Richmond VA) was run over in a hit-and-run last weekend. Please consider donating time or money to his family while he recovers from multiple injuries mealtrain.com/5zddvr
