They are. Haverhill, Malden, Brookline and Melrose already. Most unions work on three year contract cycles, so we’re going to keep seeing these very contentious renegotiation break downs as contracts come up for renewal the next two years and teachers and support staff try to get CoL raises that match what’s happened with inflation and housing prices in greater Boston since the start of the pandemic.

Somerville just fought and won to get a $35k starting salary which triggered a lot of local school unions to start fighting for a better salary, among other things.

Is that for paras? No way the starting salary for a teacher in Somerville is 35k.
