Bargaining the Future of Education: Upholding the Dignity of Our Labor
Saturday, November 7
Courtyard by Marriott Boston Marlborough, 75 Felton Street, Marlborough
Registration: 8-9 a.m. | Summit: 9 a.m.-4 p.m. | Social: 4-5 p.m.
Across the MTA, locals continue to demonstrate what's possible when members are actively engaged in negotiations. At this year's summit, we will explore some of the most consequential issues shaping public education and our working conditions today.
Workshops will focus on how we can:
- Bargain and organize to protect the future of public education and our professional autonomy by countering the Big Tech/Artificial Intelligence agenda, ensuring that educators, students and communities are centered in our schools and colleges.
- Secure the funding locals need to win transformative contracts.
- Continue coordinating across public higher education campuses to win Fair Wages Now.
The opening plenary will feature MTA member leaders who have successfully campaigned to curtail AI initiatives that compromise student learning and threaten job elimination within MTA ranks. They will be joined by leaders of emerging parent, educator, student and civil society coalitions who are centering educator working and student learning conditions over reckless AI adoption.
Come prepared to share what's working, learn from other MTA members and locals, and put strategy into action.
