There is power in a union. This image shows the map of every county in West Virginia shut down by the teachers’ strike that began in late February 2018. The state wanted to give 1 percent annual raises for five years to the teachers — who make less than those in all but three states — and have them pay more for health insurance. Teachers flooded the State Capitol Building instead, leading to a State-wide teachers strike. Stand with the teachers and the rank-and-file union members. Solidarity Forever.

A circular logo in red and black that features a map of West Virginia in the center. All counties are red, which the legend tells us means “CLOSED.” Framing the image, in curved text, it states: “There is Power in a Union. West Virginia Teachers Strike.” Two black stars dot each side.
