In this episode, Angie, Nataly, and a special guest shed light on the urgent need for reform in the k-12 education sector and beyond. Despite being the foundation of our educational system, teachers frequently endure working conditions that would be intolerable in any other occupation. This episode examines the many forms of exploitation, such as the demands of emotional labor, a lack of professional recognition, and low pay, that teachers around the country deal with. But, it also illustrates how unions continue to play a crucial role in advocating for teachers and fighting for change.
