Each morning this week, we will highlight the facts of our #FairFive now entering 155 days without a contract! ⁦Ryan Liacos⁩ #WellesleyEducatorsCare

Day 1 of Community Education Week. #ParentalLeave #FairFive we want the facts to be known 155 days without a contract ⁦Ryan Liacos⁩ ⁦Massachusetts Teachers Association⁩ ⁦swellesley⁩ ⁦WCVB-TV Boston⁩ ⁦The Boston Globe⁩

Day 2 Community Education Week Did you know that Education Support Professionals’ (ESPs) starting salary in Wellesley is ~$25,000? This is unconscionable! to see what the required annual income to live in Norfolk County amounts to, follow this thread#Day158ofNoContract#fairfive

Wellesley is the ONLY one, of 9 comparable districts, that does NOT provide just cause protections for ESPs. (Just cause = an employer must have a reason to act in disciplining an employee and the reason must be just and fair.) ⁦Ryan Liacos⁩ ⁦Massachusetts Teachers Association⁩ #159days

“WE are still here……ready to negotiate!” ⁦Massachusetts Teachers Association⁩ ⁦Ryan Liacos⁩

Day 4 of Community Education Week. We are calling for guaranteed preparation and planning time which is essential for educators to create purposeful,rigorous, and thoughtful lessons. #fairfivenow #Day160nocontract ⁦Ryan Liacos⁩ ⁦Massachusetts Teachers Association⁩ ⁦swellesley⁩

DAY 5 Librarians, Art, PE, and Music educators develop and teach full, important curricula, providing essential skills that prepare students for college and life. Let’s invest in our children by having these educators in our buildings full time! #160daysnocontract #FairFiveNow

During today’s bargaining session, the WEA sent management a package proposal and they rejected it without a counter. The session is now over for the night, still with no agreement. Starting this Monday, WEA educators will be working to rule. #fairfivenow #faircontractnow ⁦

Please consider going beyond the typical Teachers' Week motions. Have your kids send their teachers specific notes of appreciation, educate yourself & others re: the real issues facing educators today & lobby for change, demand the town pay teachers their worth, etc. It matters.

Dear Wellesley Community Members and Families... This letter is adapted for our specific community with consent and solidarity from our ⁦Lexington Education Association⁩ colleagues that are navigating their own bargaining. #worktorule ⁦@DianeNBCBoston⁩ ⁦Marlena Spurr⁩⁦Boston 25 News

Proud to be part of this Union! #unionsolidarity
