EM-R will be sponsoring a number of financial planning and loan forgiveness seminars this school year. Over the next week you will be receiving several short videos giving some additional information on the financial benefits included in your benefits plan that has been bargained by your union or is part of state statute. The first regards your pension and is just under four minutes. Once you earn three years of service credit, you are vested and become eligible for retirement, disability and survivor benefits.

Educators are powerful when we have a collective voice. Working in union gives us the ability to make meaningful improvements for students, our profession, public education and our communities.
Unfortunately, corporate interests today won a politically-motivated case in the U.S. Supreme Court. The 5-4 decision in the Janus v. AFSCME case makes it harder for working people to join together in strong unions to build better lives for families and communities. Janus is the culmination of decades of attacks to try and financially destabilize labor unions.
Despite these efforts, educators will continue to work together to make our children smarter, our working conditions better and our public schools safer and more welcoming environments for students, staff and families.
We need you to show your administrators, our students, our communities and each other that we are committed to working together to improve public education by renewing your commitment to the union. Why does belonging to Education Minnesota matter?
We can be a convincing force for change when we have a collective voice. That is why it’s so important for educators and other public workers to stick together, no matter what happens in our courts or at the Capitol.
Together,
Denise Specht
President
Education Minnesota
6 teacher leaders from EMR spent Friday evening and Saturday in Bloomington with our union family in Education Minnesota doing the business of the organization and working on how we can be #unionstrong as a local union, and a state-wide organization.
Maria Le was published on the NEA Foundation’s website. Her article on building Relationships is honest, sincere ad good heart advice on what it takes to be an excellent teacher. Check it out here.
