The US’s largest labor union has retaliated against the three-day strike of its 350 staff members.
Members of the National Education Association Staff Organization participated in a picket line outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center from July 4 to July 7, 2024.Members of the National Education Association Staff Organization participated in a picket line outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center from July 4 to July 7, 2024.
In April, NEASO members voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike, and in June they followed through with a 24-hour walkout that marked the union’s first work stoppage in 50 years.
By locking out its own workers, the NEA has pulled out the same kind of tactics that union-busting CEOs love to draw on to crush organized labor. “NEA management’s punitive lockout of its own employees is a dangerous, reckless, and reactionary move that undermines the rights of every union worker in this country,” McLean said. “The handful of people who are tasked with running the National Education Association are trying to strong-arm its staff union into accepting a successor collective bargaining agreement by using intimidation and threats. These are clear union-busting techniques that will not be tolerated.
