There is a reason why millions of workers want to join unions.

There is a reason why greedy corporations oppose unions.

Union membership means higher wages and better benefits.

Let’s grow the trade union movement.

Why do we march on May Day?

This year, we march because certain politicians are defunding our schools and attacking our communities.

We are speaking up. We are protecting our freedoms. We are reclaiming our power.

Unions are the anecdote to authoritarianism!
NEA members and their local unions refused to comply in advance and will do everything they can to protect public education. #UnionStrong #ProudUnionEducator

Eight Charts that Tell You Everything About Faculty Pay | NEA The 2025 NEA Faculty Pay Report shows a small uptick in faculty purchasing power, but it still hasn’t recovered to pre-pandemic levels.

NEA’s new Faculty Pay Report shows pay gaps in higher ed remain deep:
👩‍🏫 Women earn less
🏫 HBCU faculty face pay penalties
📚 Adjuncts are underpaid

But unionized faculty earn more—and collective bargaining is driving gains. Read more: buff.ly/2heqsN7

Gutting the Department of Education will impact everything from internet access to school buses.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Starbucks paid its CEO $800K a day last year, while workers are fighting for a fair contract. They can definitely afford to pay a livable wage. No contract, no coffee! #ToBeAPartner #UnionsForAll

PRIVATIZING SCHOOLS: “Billionaires created the groundwork for Trump to expand charter schools and promote federal vouchers. Those who benefit from this privatization scheme are not students, families, or taxpayers who support neighborhood public schools.” coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/03/bill...

Immigration One in five workers in America wasn’t born here. Immigrants are America’s workers, vital to the fabric of our communities, our economy and our labor movement.

Immigrants are vital to the fabric of our communities, our economy and our labor movement.

Stoking fear about immigrants and mass deporting people whose labor makes our country prosper is a betrayal of our values, and a recipe for economic disaster.

Voters have repeatedly rejected school vouchers that take funding from public schools. Yet, anti-public education politicians are forcing them through executive orders—hurting millions of students. Public funds belong in public schools. Tell Congress to stop attacks on our students👉🏽 buff.ly/4hYMx7e

Every student deserves a great public school. But great schools are only possible because of the educators who show up ready to make a difference. This #PublicSchoolsWeek, and every week, we celebrate those who inspire, support, and prepare our students for the future. #PSW25 publicschoolproud.org

As an elected union leader & veteran history educator, I live in a mental spiral of both fear & hope. We have seen this before, attacks on the public good & the vulnerable, the racism & fear-mongering. And we know the antidote, solidarity, collective action, & disruption. Y’all stretch, it’s time. ✊🏽

As a proud union organizer I am excited to support @benwikler for DNC chair. Ben knows that Dems need to organize voters from all walks of life, partner with labor unions & continue to build strong state & local party orgs across the US.
Organizing happens everyday & Ben knows how to fight & win!
