We are thrilled to announce that @educationweek employees have voted YES to unionize! We look forward to starting the collective bargaining process to make sure that all of EdWeek's hardworking employees have the protections and policies we deserve.

Thanks to our bargaining team (and @WBNG32035 reps) for a solid first session! They are committed to bringing our members' voices to the table as they advocate to make EdWeek an even more equitable place to work.

Our first bargaining session is today! We are excited at the prospect of productive and collaborative conversations as we work to establish our first contract. 💙.

Today, EdWeek employees begin casting their votes on whether they want to form a union. We are confident that we will win with a strong majority and are excited about what’s to come! 💙✊.

Thanks to the @thegrade_ for the mention! .

Congratulations to @Publici_Union, including our wonderful former colleague @C_C_Mitchell, on an awesome new contract! We can't wait to follow in your footsteps!.

Today's email from @educationweek management says a union will prevent us from talking with colleagues about our weekends and sick kids. 🫠🫠. We're excited to form a union AND maintain our strong working relationships!.

@educationweek Our efforts to unionize have been and will continue to be thoughtful and respectful, thanks to our incredible colleagues. We’re dismayed that @educationweek leadership hasn’t returned the favor.

@educationweek Senior leaders have falsely said a union will compromise EdWeek’s independence, drive a wedge between employees and their managers, and make false promises it can’t keep. In reality, a union will advocate for a more transparent and equitable workplace for all.

@educationweek Management has put up posters around our office space promoting anti-union messages and spreading misinformation about the bargaining process.

@educationweek Upper management at EdWeek has sent our staff anti-union emails every few days since we went public. Employees have also received anti-union letters in the mail. And we all sat through a 25-minute captive audience meeting earlier this month.

@educationweek To support their anti-union point, EdWeek leadership quoted Shirley Chisholm, the first Black Congresswoman. She supported workers and labor unions—but EdWeek invoked her name to do the opposite.

Yesterday’s email to all @educationweek staff from a senior leader argues that colleagues won’t have a seat at the table if we form a union. This is false—every member of our bargaining unit will weigh in on our collective priorities and vote to ratify a contract with management.

Since we went public, we’ve been dealing with a barrage of false assertions, misinformation, and deeply disrespectful anti-worker rhetoric. We are excited to vote in our election soon so we can support each other and advocate for a bright future for @educationweek.

@s_e_schwartz @educationweek @MarkALieberman Organizing has given "us a sense of community with our coworkers in a way that we might not have had before." We are disappointed that @educationweek management has refused to voluntarily recognize us, but we are looking forward to the upcoming election. #UnionStrong ✊.

@s_e_schwartz @educationweek .@educationweek employees have a “desire to have more of a concrete voice in shaping our workplace, and our experience doing this work,” said @MarkALieberman. We want—and deserve—a seat at the table.
