Congratulations to these educators on winning their first contracts! Not that this is news to anyone, but labor law in this country is beyond broken - these workers won their union elections more than 3 and 4 years ago, respectively.
“Our state cannot afford to fund 2 separate school systems any longer. While the funding mechanism for the new federal voucher credit may be different, the point remains the same. This funding will be better used to fully fund public schools, which 90% of our students already attend.” — Karen Rego
We stand in solidarity with Columbus Metropolitan Library employees who will be voting on joining together in union with @oftunion.bsky.social later this month! ✊ www.10tv.com/article/news...
@oftunion.bsky.social member Karen Rego spoke on Capitol Hill today about how vouchers harm public schools like hers in Cleveland Heights, OH. Because state funds are being redirected to vouchers, her district is facing $7mil in cuts.
That's why we need the Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act.
Workers deserve the right to organize a union. These attempts to sow fear and doubt and retaliation against employees is wrong. Proud to see CML workers keep up their union fight with resilience and determination.

Big congratulations to the educators at KIPP Columbus and Menlo Park Academy in Ohio for ratifying their first union contracts! First contracts aren't easy—both have been negotiating for years—so this is a big step for workers to win the rights and benefits they deserve.

Thank you Cleveland Heights Teachers Union President Karen Rego for speaking out about the dangers of vouchers as lawmakers introduced the Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act. The bill would repeal Trump's voucher scheme & protect public schools that 90% of kids attend.

CML is sowing the seeds of distrust to try and weaken the unity and solidarity of CML workers -- it won't work!

Yesterday, Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District teacher and President of Cleveland Heights Teachers Union 795, Karen Rego represented Ohio teachers at a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol for the Keep Public Dollars in Public Schools Act of 2026.
The coming vote is set to take place amid what council member Rob Dorans called ‘some of the most egregious union busting’ he has ever witnessed during a weekend rally at Franklin Park Amphitheater.

Karen Rego, a middle school science teacher in Cleveland Heights, told lawmakers that Ohio's experience with vouchers should give the entire country pause.
