Only 35 states, plus the District of Columbia, guarantee K–12 teachers some right to organize and collectively bargain. In the other six states (Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and most recently, Arkansas), public-employee collective bargaining is expressly prohibited by law.
With collective bargaining, educators advocate not only for their working conditions, but also for student learning conditions. We lift our voice for fair compensation and benefits, and also for: Smaller class sizes. Less testing and more time for learning.
