Education Minnesota's Clerical Local 692A represents all of the clerical workers at Independent School District #709 - which is the School District that runs the public schools in Duluth. They have been working without a contract for a year, as negotiations drag on between the School District and the union. This past week dozens of union members and community allies showed up at the Duluth School Board meeting in a show of solidarity with the workers. We're asking folks to do the same thing at next month's School Board meeting - which will be on August 20 at 5:30pm at 709 Portia Johnson Drive.
The union is hoping that these outpourings of support for the workers will sway the School Board into negotiating a fair contract.Local 692A is part of the Duluth Federation of Teachers, which in turn is affiliated statewide with Education Minnesota. Local 692A previous contract expired on June 30, 2023. We urge folks to stay in the loop about ways to support the workers by following the DFT facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/dftlocal692
