"This isn't just about a paid leave. It's about valuing our educators as people and not just as employees."

PFT member Janet Swanner of Arts Academy at Rush is preparing to welcome her third child -- this time with five weeks of paid parental leave, thanks to our new collective bargaining agreement. We're proud to have negotiated this significant win for members who wish to take parental or adoption leave in our new contract.

Please join us in congratulating Janet and her family on their soon-to-be newest addition as well!

President Arthur Steinberg: "Billionaires like Jeff Yass want to destroy public education and democracy because those two pillars of a free and just society go hand in hand. And what big tech billionaires are doing in collaboration with ICE and the Trump administration is totally at odds with a free and peaceful democracy. It’s just plain EVIL."

We gathered with allies on Independence Mall, outside of a fancy private event for Jeff Yass and Palantir CEO Joe Lonsdale, to remind Philly that we are proof billionaires can be beaten back. He even admitted as much when Governor Shapiro vetoed his pet project, a private school voucher program, in 2023: “It was a dramatic failure," he whined to the press ☹️

Sorry, Yass. In November, working people WILL deliver another massive L to the billionaire class trying to destroy public education and American democracy ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
