It is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of one of the founders of our great Union. Mrs. Richie Coleman Scott (pictured third from left in second row), was one of a group of Administrators who took on the "David vs. Goliath" fight of breaking away from PGCEA. Administrators who were tired of being treated as Second class members of the Union that represented Teachers first.
Mrs. Scott was a strong Union supporter throughout her career and beyond. She was a beloved Educator whose former students would stop her on the street to thank her for helping, and in some cases, saving them. She was a wonderful friend, and a beautiful person. She will be missed. |

Paid sick leave becomes law in MD
The legislation allows workers at companies with 15 workers or more to earn up to five days a year of paid sick leave, which they could also use for such matters as going to court to obtain a protective order against domestic violence or dealing with the aftermath of sexual assault. A worker will be able to earn an hour of sick leave for every 30 hours they work. It will benefit about 700,000 Maryland workers. Read the Washington Post report here
