Educators in Revere have raised the alarm on the health and safety crisis in our schools for months,” said Rumney Marsh Academy teacher Jane Chapin, who is a Revere Teachers Association co-president. “When hundreds of our members attend the bargaining sessions as silent representatives, they can see and hear the School Committee’s refusal to listen to our concerns – instead, they choose to keep their heads in the sand and ignore the reality in front of them. And that is exactly why our members unanimously voted to commence work-to-rule. Enough is enough.” North Shore Educators United is a coalition of educator unions representing over 5,000 educators from Gloucester to Chelsea working to advocate for better schools.

Some states might have specific thresholds for what constitutes illegal price hikes. • Report to federal agencies.

Provide the appropriate links. • Spread awareness. Share your experiences on social media (without violating platform terms) to raise awareness.
