It takes a lot of staff hands to support pro-public education and pro-union candidates on the campaign trail. Meet Chris Paige, MSEA's videographer and Digital Storytelling Specialist. By the end of campaign season, he will have shot and edited dozens of videos for educator endorsed candidates throughout the state. You can check out his amazing work on MSEA socials.

From planning through Albert, Chelsea, and Alexis to all the many staff who teach courses in organizing and building union power, it is the members of PSA who spend days away from their families and home to make MSEA’s yearly summer conference a huge success. The power of MSEA’s locals and members is a direct correlation to the strength and expertise of PSA members. Solidarity forever!

We stand in solidarity with our KSO siblings. Uphold union values. Bring Mallory back.

On May 30th and June 4th, KNEA Management and Governance committed two actions that we contend violate both the Collective Bargaining Agreement and the KNEA UniServ Joint-Employer status.

1) KNEA attempted to circumvent bargaining by taking an item that they had tried unsuccessfully to bargain the previous year, and voting on a change via board policy. This unilateral action denied both KSO and the UniServs their right to ratify this change via the bargaining process.

2) KNEA terminated an employee, Mallory Raugewitz-Blick, in a manner that we believe is not only inconsistent with good union values but also violated both the Collective Bargaining Agreement and the Joint-Employer status by not giving the Kaw Valley UniServ a voice in the decision.

Last night, the KNEA Board had a 5-hour emergency meeting, all in secrecy under the cloak of Executive Session. Mallory was given 15 minutes to decide if she would resign or have her employment terminated. It took the board 5 hours to decide, and yet they did nothing. No announcements were made, no public vote was made, just a motion to adjourn as soon as the Secrecy Session was over.

The members of the Maryland Professional Staff Association (MDPSA) stand behind our union siblings in Indiana as they fight back against the worst kind of union-busting. We call on the Indiana State Teachers Association (ISTA) to reinstate Indiana State Professional Organization (ISPO) leaders Rick Scaif and Anita Vernon immediately, grant them any restitution owed, and rescind any threat of termination hanging over them for their lawfully protect union activity. Our members will do whatever is asked to help defend our siblings.

ISTA must act out the values that IPSO members demonstrate daily on behalf of ISTA’s members. We call on ISTA leadership to do the right thing without delay.

In solidarity.
