*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: From the Mines to the Classrooms to the Statehouse: #RedforEd Teacher Walkouts Author: Sharon Block Source: On Labor

*Date: * Sept 25, 2018

Summary: Last week, the Labor and Worklife Program https://lwp.law.harvard.edu/ at Harvard Law School hosted an event with the National Education Association on the teacher walkouts that spread through red states from January to May 2018. We held this event to learn as much as possible about what motivated tens of thousands of teachers to stand up for themselves and their schools. The most profound lesson I learned was the importance of telling stories of worker power in order to foster worker power.
