On Wednesday, June 23rd, staff at Paulo Freire Social Justice Charter School (PFSJCS) in Chicopee and UAW 2322 representatives held an informational picket outside the school responding to the school’s choice not to renew the contracts of two-thirds of their unionized teaching staff at the end of the 2020-21 school year. “[The administration] thought that if they ignored us, we’d stop. They thought if they fired us, we’d stop,” said Carol Huben, a UAW 2322 member and current Paulo Freire teacher. “We’re here to say we’re not going to stop.”
