4 Massachusetts districts' teachers engage in "work-to-rule" protest due to stalled contract negotiations.

Teachers in four Massachusetts districts—Beverly, Gloucester, Revere, and Marblehead—have begun a "work-to-rule" protest due to stalled contract negotiations since February. This means they will only perform tasks outlined in their contracts, drawing attention to their extra efforts. Unions are advocating for smaller class sizes, paid parental leave, longer lunch and recess for young children, and a living wage for staff, aiming to raise public awareness of these issues.
