<div><strong>Union staff fight every day for fairness for others. Now we are fighting for fairness ourselves.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pennsylvania’s Federation of Teachers Staff Union Local #4 (FTSU) members are raising funds to defend our contractual rights and ensure we have the legal support needed to respond to a series of recent workplace actions affecting field staff. These efforts require resources, and we are asking for support to help us pursue fair outcomes and accountability. <strong>If you’re able, please consider contributing or sharing to help sustain this work.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s a quick snapshot of what we’re seeing, in our view, from our employer, AFT Pennsylvania:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Unpaid suspensions that FTSU believes may be inconsistent with our labor agreement
</li>
<li>Termination of the Organizer role following protected activity
</li>
<li>Termination of the FTSU President after a resignation had already been accepted
</li>
<li>Reports of wages and benefits that may be owed under the contract but have not yet been received
</li>
<li>Repeated medical update requests during approved leave, with concerns about how requirements are applied
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This is about more than individual cases. It’s about the principles we all stand for as Union workers.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>FTSU is reviewing these matters and pursuing all appropriate avenues under the contract and applicable law.
</div>
