Sadly, the theme of today’s bargaining from the district was “respectfully decline” to the needs of our students, community, & members. Please join us on Wed. August 13th at 9:30am at our MFE Office (67 8th Avenue NE) as we continue the fight to make MPS a destination district~

Bargaining is just getting started! Watch now:

“If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything. So as I stand with my fellow educators I will no longer fall for the district's antics.”. One thing I’ve heard from members this summer:. “They’ve been saying: if we don’t stick together we won’t get our demands.”.

One thing I’ve heard from members this summer:. “One thing I hear over and over again that gets me excited and reminds me of our collective power is how people answer the question, What will it take to win our priorities? And people answer, STICKING TOGETHER!”.

Our union is filled with brilliant, caring, diverse people and I value this opportunity to connect with folks to build relationships and gather their ideas about what would make MPS a destination district.”.

Having conversations and checking in with educators to hear what is going on in their buildings is something I look forward to every summer with the YRO team!.

Open bargaining has allowed our members, community members, and labor sibilings to join us in solidarity as we bargain three contracts for two MFE units. Join us in August as we resume bargaining for fair and improved working conditions!

MFE was honored to host the @NEAToday CAPE grant convening this past weekend with educators from across the US. Proud to tour American Indian Magnet School, Hmongtown Marketplace, and GFS. The grantees' projects were powerful and inspiring! So glad we do this work! #UnionStrong

"Public schools are committed to serving everyone. Full stop. Losing targeted support for the students who need it most doesn’t make sense, and certainly doesn’t align with what our families or communities expect from their public schools."
