MTA Retired Member Events

Along with democratizing collective bargaining, local unions are increasingly developing Contract Action Teams (CAT teams) to work hand-in-hand with the bargaining committee members in organizing major job actions and escalating campaigns that support and strengthen contract negotiations at the table.

This includes bargaining for the common good, identifying and developing leaders and key issues that unite educators with students and their families, building escalating campaigns with the intention of securing a fair contract, and understanding how to navigate the legal landscape in Massachusetts labor law, especially when engaging with collective actions which are “extra-legal”.

Presenters:

This workshop will offer an introduction to the Museum of Fine Arts recently renewed efforts to create opportunities for our audiences to engage with the visual arts by revealing connections, exploring differences, and fostering moments of discovery and learning.

We will explore the variety and impact of the MFA’s initiatives, programs, and special events for children, families, communities across the region, and learners of all ages. Finally, we will also solicit and discuss creative and innovative ideas for our continued engagement of educators and their students in Massachusetts and beyond.
