27,500 Fairfax County Public Schools Workers Unionize in Largest Win in 25 Years
Jun 10, 2024, 02:56 PM
In a historic victory for labor, over 27,500 workers in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), the ninth-largest school district in the country, have voted to unionize under the Fairfax Education Union (FEU). This marks the largest successful public sector collective bargaining campaign in over 25 years. The unionization effort includes educators, bus drivers, and other operational staff, who have long sought the right to collective bargaining to improve pay, benefits, and working conditions. The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has expressed strong support for the newly formed union, highlighting the persistence and dedication of the workers involved. The union comprises two bargaining units, representing a unified voice for the workers.
