"This isn't just about a paid leave. It's about valuing our educators as people and not just as employees."

We're proud to have negotiated paid parental & adoption leave so that members like Janet won't lose pay or sick leave after her family welcomes their third child!

Creating solutions. Expanding opportunity.

The PFT partners with the District & higher ed to help non-teacher members advance in their careers. This is how we address the teaching shortage crisis - and transform lives and communities! #PHLed #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #PFTstrong #CBAWednesday

"Nurses have waited a long time to be considered for this recognition."

Under our new CBA, certified school nurses are eligible for Senior Career Status. Life really is better in a union! #PHLed #PFTstrong #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #CBAWednesday

PFT member Chavonna Holiday-Boulware nails it: a faster path to Senior Career status isn't just about the salary increase - it's recognition by the District of the experience and wisdom that longtime educators bring to schools. #PHLed #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #CBAWednesday
