NEU comment on PISA 2025 results
Commenting on the publication of PISA's report, Daniel Kebede, general secretary of the National Education Union, said:
"Today's PISA report shows that British pupils receive above-average support from their teachers (1). Britain's science scores have reversed the decline of the last decade, and English and maths scores have remained the same, unlike in other countries where scores fell (2).
"Teachers here have among the largest classes and highest pupil numbersof any OECD country (3), and PISA finds teacher shortages hindering learning in more schools than the OECD average, while other countries are improving (4). Ministers cannot keep asking schools to do more with less. Britain's teachers are making up for the lack of government investment, but they cannot do that forever.
"The results also confirm what the NEU has long warned: too many pupils, poorer pupils especially, do not feel they belong at school (5). Pupils from poorer homes still do far worse than their better-off classmates (6), and over the past decade poorer pupils have fallen further behind in maths (7). Free school meals for every child, not just some, would tackle the stigma and exclusion at the heart of this.
"On AI, pupils are using these tools constantly (8), yet barely two in five feel able to judge whether what they produce is trustworthy (9). Schools need funding, guidance and time to teach this properly."

Editor's Note
1. OECD, PISA 2025 Results (Volume I): Future-Ready Students (2026), Table I.7, p.40: UK teacher-support mean index +0.23, against an OECD average of +0.03.
2. OECD (2026), Table I.1, p.28 and p.93: UK science score +12 points (2022-2025) against an OECD average of -3, with reading and maths flat against an OECD-wide fall; the UK is one of seven systems worldwide where the share of low performers fell and top performers rose simultaneously.
3. OECD, Education at a Glance 2025 (2025): UK primary student-teacher ratio 19.5, ranked 4th-highest of 43 countries; class size 27 pupils in public primary schools, ranked 3rd-highest of 37.
4. OECD (2026), Table I.7, p.40: 23.2% of UK pupils are in a school reporting no teacher shortage, against 28.8% OECD average.

Blizzard Entertainment Workers Ratify Historic Video Game Contracts with CWA

New union contracts represent nearly 1,900 workers across Blizzard; include guardrails around AI usage, layoff protections, and remote and hybrid work benefits
NATIONWIDE -Blizzard Entertainment workers represented by the Communications Workers of America (CWA) voted to ratify historic union contracts with the Microsoft-owned company, securing an unprecedented victory for the video gameindustry following the Labor Day holiday and just days ahead of BlizzCon, Blizzard Entertainment's flagship gaming convention in Anaheim, Calif.
After two years of bargaining, nearly 1900 video game workers have won a breakthrough first contract, whose terms will now extend to all units across Blizzard's game teams and shared services, including union-represented workers at World of Warcraft, Quality Assurance, Hearthstone and Warcraft Rumble, Overwatch, Diablo, and Blizzard's Platform & Technology and Story and Franchise Development units.
"I've been at Blizzard for 20 years because I love this company and the amazing people I work with. This contract secures a lot of what people already love about working here while adding strong protections around layoffs, job security, and remote work," said Platform & Technology bargaining committee member and Principal Software Engineer Daniel Weltz. "Blizzard helped shape the gaming industry, and I'm proud that this contract allows us to continue setting new standards for this work."
Blizzard Entertainment workers outside the Irvine, Calif., office after World of Warcraft workers became the first wall-to-wall union at Activision Blizzard in July 2024 with the formation of WoWGG-CWA.
The union contracts reinforce several workplace benefits that set industry-wide standards for video game workers in the United States. Alongside wage increases, grievance procedures, a three-day in-office hybrid workweek, "just cause" protections, remote work and disability accommodations, the contracts now require Blizzard to discuss, evaluate, and bargain over the usage of artificial intelligence in the workplace. In an industry first, the new union contracts give workers the right to be "recalled" into open positions across any Blizzard bargaining unit for 14 months from the date of their layoff announcement. Workers have also secured an extra 4 weeks of severance for union workers regardless of their tenure.
"This contract marks the beginning of a new era at Blizzard Entertainment, but it doesn't stop with us. I look forward to the day that everyone in the industry can enjoy the protections that this contract affords us, like increased severance and recall rights in the event of a layoff and the ability to grieve injustices in the workplace," said Overwatch bargaining committee member and Quality Analyst Simon Hedrick. "I believe that the positive change we have won will ripple out and help make the games industry as a whole a better place for workers and players alike. This contract is the start of something greater, and I urge everyone to remember: when we fight together, we win together."
A prominent issue for members of the bargaining committee during contract negotiations was industry layoffs. In July, Microsoft's gaming division -now rebranded as XBOX -announced 3,200 planned job reductions across XBOX, impacting hundreds of union members. Hundreds of CWA members and allies coordinated rallies across the United States and Canada in protest of these layoffs, demanding dignity and respect for those laid-off.

"CWA members at Blizzard are leading the way for all XBOX studios, showing what can be achieved when video game workers have a strong voice in shaping their studios for the better. It's a new day at Blizzard, where greater power for workers is translating into more innovative games for players," said Claude Cummings, Jr., President of CWA. "I am so proud of CWA bargaining teams, taking on tough fights and winning strong contracts that set new standards for working people across our industries."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 [Category: Union] -- The AFL-CIO American Federation of Teachers issued the following news release:

AFT, UFT and Microsoft Announce 'National AI Safety & Privacy Standard' for Schools to Protect Students, Families and Educators
*
NEW YORK-After months of intense negotiations and in the absence of any meaningful federal and state rules governing artificial intelligence in schools, AFT President Randi Weingarten, United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew, and Microsoft Vice Chair and President Brad Smith today announced a "National AI Safety & Privacy Standard"establishing legally enforceable protections to ensure the safety of students, families and educators.
The first-of-its-kind agreement, on the heels of New York City Public Schools' screens and AI ban, ensures that tech companies cannot use student data to train AI, students can never be tracked, AI cannot make decisions without human oversight, and companies must give educators and parents transparency and plain-language answers about how their tools work. U.S. school districts can incorporate these protections directly into their Microsoft customer agreements, making them contractually enforceable.
"We have forged a hard-fought, iron-clad privacy agreement with real teeth that protects students and families, because no one else, including the federal government, has stepped up to do the real work," Weingarten said. "We can get angrier and angrier, or we can act decisively; anything less than legally enforceable provisions is simply a wish list."
Weingarten continued, "This agreement ensures three foundational goals: protect the privacy and data of children, give schools real control over AI tools in the classroom, and provide transparency and information to parents. And with New York City adopting our framework to ban screens and AI use in the younger years, this agreement adds to the momentum around online safety for kids and educators."
In a May speech, "Devices Down, Eyes Up, Hands-On," Weingarten flagged her fight for an enforceable data privacy standard and called for a total screen ban from kindergarten through second grade, a ban on student-facing AI in elementary school and a ban on social companion chat bots for students under 16. A similar framework has been adopted by the Los Angeles Unified School District, the New York State United Teachers (the AFT's state affiliate), and last week, New York City Public Schools and Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
"This standard sets a high bar for child privacy and AI safety, and we'll extend this agreement to every school district across the country," said Microsoft's Smith.
At its core, the agreement turns shared principles into clear, enforceable protections centered on three priorities:
Protecting Privacy: Educators, parents and students can have confidence that data remains theirs. Student and educator data will not be used to train AI models, sold or repurposed, and schools will maintain control over how data is used, retained and deleted.
Enhancing Safety: Students and educators are protected by strong security, safeguards and human oversight. AI systems must be designed to avoid harmful or manipulative experiences, protect sensitive information, and meet rigorous standards for security, accountability and responsible use.
Providing Transparency and Control: Families can expect clear, accessible information about how AI is being used in schools and their safeguards, including what data is collected and what protections are in place. Schools retain control over when and how AI is used, and companies need to communicate clearly about product changes, risks and controls.
"Educators are stepping in to do what we do best: protect our students. This agreement gives families and school districts the information and privacy protections they have been demanding, and it empowers school districts to end agreements and seek damages from bad actors who break the rules. It starts to level the playing field in a competitive, ever-changing arena that lacks the guardrails our children and school communities need," said the UFT's Mulgrew, who leads the 200,000-member New York City AFT affiliate.
In 2024, the AFT released its "Commonsense Guardrails for Using Advanced Technology in Schools," which established nine core principles to ensure students and families were informed and protected. And last year, it announced the creation of the National Academy for AI Instruction, which enables educators to access training on the use and misuse of AI tools rather than being treated like an afterthought, as so often happens with changes in education technology. Led by educators, the academy allows teachers not only to become proficient with the emerging technology but to be diligent about student safety and privacy.
"HIPAA and FERPA never envisioned the advent of AI," Weingarten said, "and in the absence of those protections, tech companies need to take responsibility for the products they create and market to students, educators and communities."

New memorandums of understanding and national-level settlements
*
The NALC and the Postal Service have agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Re: Monetization of Annual Leave (M-02019) in which career employees covered under the NALC agreement may sell back up to 80 hours of annual leave prior to the beginning of the leave year. To qualify for annual leave monetization, employees must meet two criteria: They must be at the maximum annual leave carryover limitat the start of the leave year and must have used fewer than 75 hours of sick leave in the previous leave year.
In addition, the national parties have agreed to a MOU Re: Annual Leave Carryover for Leave Year 2027 (M-02020), which increases the maximum allowable annual leave carryover amounts outlined in the Employee and Labor Relations Manual (ELM). For Leave Year 2027, regular workforce career employees covered by the USPS-NALC National Agreement may carry over 520 hours of accumulated annual leave from Leave Year 2026 to Leave Year 2027. The memorandum, which does not change the provisions in the ELM for payment of accumulated leave, will expire with the conclusion of the 2027 leave year.
Also, in a letter dated Sept. 3, 2026 (M-02021), USPS and NALC have renewed the bidding procedures outlined in Article 12.3.A of the National Agreement, effective May 23, 2026. This renewal allows city letter carriers to continue bidding on, and subsequently be awarded, vacant job assignments during the ongoing contract negotiations and in the event the parties come to an impasse and proceed to interest arbitration. Successful bids following May 23, 2026, will count toward the maximum bids established in the next National Agreement.
NALC and USPS have also resolved two issues pending at the national-level interpretive step. The parties have reached an agreement on a national-level grievance regarding the Postal Service's Heat Illness Prevention Program (M-02017), and the Postal Service has withdrawn a request for an interpretive review of a national-level dispute (M-02018) regarding the filing of PS Form 1767 and remedies for rights not bargained for in the contract. Grievances held pending the outcome of these national cases will be processed in accordance with Article 15 of the National Agreement.
All five documents can be found in NALC's Materials Reference System (MRS) on the NALC website at nalc.org/mrs.

Washington, D.C. -In a victory for organizing the progressive digital agencies ahead of midterm elections, workers at BattleAxe Digital have formed a union with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 2336, joining thousands of workers who have organized with CWA's Campaign to Organize Digital Employees (CODE-CWA). BattleAxe Digital is a women-owned, full-service digital agency basedin Washington, D.C., that boasts progressive clients, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the National Education Association (NEA), and several national unions.
"So many of us have backgrounds in union organizing or come from previously organized workplaces, and many of BattleAxe's clients are unions themselves. Unionizing reflects the progressive values that BattleAxe has cultivated and stands as a testament to how much we all care about the work that we do," said CWA Local 2336 member Neha Cremin, a senior creative associate at BattleAxe Digital. "My hope is that we can work with management during bargaining to standardize how policies are communicated and enforced in a first union contract to make sure that everyone has a reasonable workload and the support to succeed."
Last month, worker-organizers at BattleAxe Digital presented management with a letter requesting voluntary recognition after a supermajority of their eligible co-workers signaled their desire to be represented by CWA. BattleAxe Digital voluntarily recognized the workers' union within 24 hours. Voluntary recognition is a streamlined pathway to union recognition endorsed by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). In a first contract, BattleAxe Digital workers hope to secure fair compensation, transparency, accountability, economic security, and sustainable work. "This union is an investment in our coworkers, our future colleagues, and the continued success of BattleAxe Digital," the letter reads.
"In our DC office, we have framed posters and campaign signs on the walls from the labor movement and their many-faceted fights for justice," said CWA Local 2336 member Grace Duginski, a fundraising content specialist at BattleAxe Digital. "Our union will now allow us to build the kind of workplace that embraces and reflects our Democratic values, and empowers us all. Like our clients, we as workers care deeply about fighting for what's right and winning by working together."
"Collective bargaining is one of the best ways for employees and management to maintain an open, healthy dialogue about the workplace we share. When workers have a collective voice and a seat at the table, we can work together to address challenges, protect what's working, and build a stronger workplace for everyone," said CWA Local 2336 member Sam Tuero, a digital fundraising specialist at BattleAxe Digital. "My hope is that our union creates a lasting structure for that partnership at BattleAxe where employees feel heard and supported, and where we can keep doing the creative, meaningful work that makes BattleAxe special."
"As we head into a critical midterm election, the people producing the creative, driving the fundraising, and running the digital campaigns for Democratic candidates and progressive causes deserve the same voice on the job that they're fighting for everyone else to have," said Melissa Smith-Kupihea, President of CWA Local 2336. "We're proud to welcome BattleAxe's workers into CWA, and we stand with them as they head into bargaining for a first contract."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 [Category: Union] -- The Transport Workers Union of America issued the following news release:

Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority Workers Win Big Gains in Newly Ratified Contract
*
Local 171 President Delisa Brown meets with a Motorcoach Operator during voting for Local 171's newest contract.
Transport Workers Union Local 171, representing Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority workers, won significant raises and better benefits in a newly ratified four-year contract. TWU Local 171 members, including Motorcoach Operators, Mechanics, Customer Service Agentsand more, will receive a 14.5% pay increase over the life of the contract, along with a $3,500 signing bonus.
"Local 171 fought hard against attempts from management to erode longstanding benefits while winning significant pay increases in their latest contract," TWU International Administrative Vice President Curtis Tate said. "We are happy to have ratified a new deal that will improve the lives of our members and their families."
TWU members in Ann Arbor, working for TheRide, were working without a contract since April. Management attempted to roll back existing family leave policies and increase the amount members are currently paying for their healthcare. Local 171 beat back both proposals, keeping in place current leave policies and healthcare for current workers.
Longtime Local 171 President Delisa Brown received local news coverage for her fight against management attempts to decrease paid leave.
"This contract is a big win for our families," Brown said. "Management wanted to remove the family and medical leave language completely along with maternity leave language and replace it with parental leave. This would cover a mother after the baby was born but she would not have the protected maternity leave before giving birth to her child. I'm proud we were able to negotiate an agreement that benefits families while giving everyone a major pay boost."
Local 171 represents about 250 workers in Ann Arbor, who overwhelmingly voted in favor of the contract earlier this month. In addition to the pay increases, the deal includes a $500 per quarter perfect attendance bonus with an additional $500 for a year of perfect attendance, an increase in dental and orthodontic coverage, and time off benefits that are in excess of Michigan's Earned Sick Time Act.
"By the end of the contract, a senior Motorcoach Operator who currently tops out at $33 per hour will make over $38 per hour," Brown said. "That is a gamechanger for our membership and I'm proud of the work that everyone at our local put in to get these negotiations over the line."
