Workers at the Fairfax County Public Schools voted to unionize, creating a union of 27,500 teachers, custodians, teaching assistants, bus drivers, and more, one of the largest K-12 unions on the East Coast.
Virginia recently lifted the ban on public sector collective bargaining, allowing local governments to choose to enable collective bargaining. This change has led to the unionization of various groups across the state.
Many teachers in Fairfax County live outside the area due to high housing costs, while custodians work multiple jobs to support their families, highlighting the challenges faced by education workers in the region.
