A Message from WTU’s President
Good Morning WTU Family!
I hope you enjoyed the glorious fall weather this weekend as it offered many of us a joyful and welcome relief from days of rain. In addition to excellent weather, as you heard via WTU emails, WTU’s social media posts, Washington Informer, WTOP News, Channel 9 News, Washington Post, last week, exactly one year since the WTU contract expired, WTU’s Contract Bargaining Team (CBT) agreed to a five-year tentative contract agreement with the District of Columbia Public Schools! This milestone marks a pivotal change in contract negotiations which, in the last 10 years, took more than 3-5 years to complete.
None of this would have been possible without the support of you – our members. Your love, high-energy in our contract actions, rallies, and red for ed days made this tentative agreement possible. We also extend our sincere gratitude to Mayor Bowser, Chancellor Ferebee, AFT President Randi Weingarten for bringing this laborious process to fruition. Also, we thank our representatives in the D.C. City Council and D.C. State Board of Education and the DC community who helped us by writing resolutions, attending bargaining sessions, rallies, and contract actions.
While the bargaining team is very pleased with what we accomplished at the table, you—the members—have the final say in a membership vote that will take place electronically from Tuesday, October 15 to Tuesday, October 21. To learn more about the details of the tentative contract agreement, please take a look at the two emails sent out last week here and plan to attend the WTU Representative Assembly meeting tomorrow - Tuesday, October 8 at 4:30 PM. Everyone is invited. Zoom link. Also, please plan to attend two virtual Town Hall Meetings on Tuesday, October 15 and Thursday, October 18. A printed copy of the Tentative Contract Agreement will be distributed to all members this week.
It’s hard to believe but the November 5, 2024 election is only 30 days away!! We urge all members to mark your calendars now and focus on getting the candidates the WTU membership endorsed elected! In conjunction with the Metro Washington Council, the WTU will be canvassing in Prince George’s County, Maryland for VP Kamala Harris for President and Angela Alsobrooks for U.S. Senate on the following dates:
- Sat, Oct 12, 9:30am - 12pm EDT, AFSCME Council 3 Office, 1400 Mercantile Ln, Suite 188, Largo, MD, 20774
- Sat, Oct 19, 9:30am - 12pm EDT, AFSCME Council 3 Office, 1400 Mercantile Ln, Suite 188, Largo, MD, 20774
- Sat, Oct 26, 9:30am - 12pm EDT, AFSCME Council 3 Office, 1400 Mercantile Ln, Suite 188, Largo, MD, 20774
We need as many members as possible to participate! To volunteer to canvass, please send an email to our WTU Organizer, Mike Roland [email protected]
I hope you will take some time for self-care this week and revel in the beautiful fall weather! Thank you, in advance, for your support!

Good Morning WTU Family!
It’s been a busy and exciting summer both locally and nationally! We can’t believe we are back in school already. We hope everyone had some time to relax and have fun with family and friends. We also hope you had some time for creative pursuits and maybe even some time to grow your professional knowledge.
We had a busy summer at the bargaining table. WTU would like to thank all our bargaining team members for working throughout the summer. Please continue to support the Contract Bargaining Team in our efforts to get a contract as soon as possible by wearing your red WTU tee-shirts on Fridays.
We hope you have a rigorous and productive week of professional development. Please let us know if you need help as you prepare to receive your students next week.
