Status UnknownSchools do not have enough staff to make SEND reforms work, union warns
9 HR AGO
The National Education Union says schools need more funding to be able to make all classrooms inclusive.
Agreements cover 4,000-plus Southern California healthcare staff and hundreds of Maine shipyard specialists, concluding disputes that included recent strikes
Unions representing more than 4,000 Kaiser Permanente pharmacy, lab, and other workers across Southern and Central California ratified a new four-year contract on March 29, ending a dispute that included a three-day strike in early February. The agreements, bargained by 11 United Food and Commercial Workers Southern California locals and valid through March 2030, include 21.5% in wage increases over four years, with 6.5% raises in March and October 2026. Union officials said additional wage grid and market adjustments will bring total gains to 25% to 30% for many members. The contracts also include language to safeguard against the impact of artificial intelligence, along with more funding for training and education.
In Maine, hundreds of Bath Marine Draftsmen's Association members at Bath Iron Works voted to approve a four-year collective bargaining agreement that takes effect immediately, ending a weeklong strike. The UAW-affiliated unit includes designers, nondestructive test technicians, technical clerks, laboratory technicians, and associate engineers; the vote followed an hourslong union meeting, according to the shipyard and labor groups. Both settlements conclude recent work stoppages and lock in four-year terms across healthcare and shipbuilding in the United States.
Multiple U.S. unions closed four-year agreements this week after recent stoppages, indicating bargaining momentum across healthcare and shipbuilding.
