Right to Strike

What this bill would do:

• Abolishes the prohibition on certain public employees striking, namely teachers

Why we need it:

Massachusetts public employees, including educators, are currently prohibited by state law from engaging in a strike, regardless of their working conditions, their students’ learning conditions, or whether their employer may have committed unfair labor practices. This outright ban on public employees striking is deeply unjust, prevents educators from bargaining on a level playing field with their employers, and unfairly restricts the ability of educators to take collective action in support of themselves and their families, their students and the communities they serve.
