Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) workers in Virginia have overwhelmingly voted in favor of unionizing, with over 27,500 educators and operational staff now represented by the Fairfax Education Union (FEU). This historic victory marks the largest successful public sector collective bargaining campaign in over 25 years, according to the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).
