Today, educators at Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans won their union election 52-12. The election was conducted by the National Labor Relations Board at two of the three campuses for LFNO. The educators, collectively known as Union des Educateurs du LFNO (UELFNO), voted to join the United Teachers of New Orleans (UTNO).

The contract marks major improvements in pay, retention of important parental leave policies, clear methods for collaboration to problem solve and constantly improve education in the school

Bricolage Academy Educators United, a chapter of the United Teachers of New Orleans, ratified their first collective bargaining agreement April 12, 2024. The Contract was ratified by the Bricolage Board on April 8th, 2024.

UTNO joins our voices with other labor unions across the country to call loudly for a ceasefire as part of the National Labor Network for Ceasefire.

The overwhelming majority of educators at LFNO have already expressed their intent to form a Union with the United Teachers of New Orleans. If the board of LFNO decides not to voluntarily recognize their union, the election conducted by the NLRB will give staff the opportunity to finalize that decision without delay.
