FCFT Updates
That’s right! It’s been a long time coming; collective bargaining was first banned in Virginia for teachers in 1977. The state legislature affirmed that ban in the 1990s. In 2020, the state legislature moved to repeal the ban on collective bargaining, but the governor delayed that bill until 2021. Since May 1, 2021, collective bargaining has been legal… but we’ve been waiting. And waiting. And still waiting. Finally, on March 9, the school board is planning on voting to formally give Fairfax County operational and instructional staff collective bargaining rights!
We will be rallying in support of the resolution at the March 9th School Board Meeting at Luther Jackson Middle School.
5:00 PM - We will make signs outside of Luther Jackson Middle School
6:00 PM -We will RALLY!
7:00 PM - School Board meeting begins

But to WIN, we will need YOUR HELP! Learn more on our Collective Bargaining page.
