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.

OFT President Melissa Cropper 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." limaohio.com/columns/2025/0…

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 Faculty Alliance of Miami! American Association of University Professors @OFTUnion

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?!

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. matternews.org/voices/the-wor…
