Good luck @WoburnTeachers!! USW 12012 has your back. Teachers aren’t “replaceable” and you deserve a fair contract. We support you! ✊🏻#mapoli #UnionStrong

We were ready to negotiate today. Our Mayor and School Committee were not.

Our last negotiation was Wednesday January 18th - Mayor Scott Galvin did NOT show up.
