Resources for Families

Talking to your young child about the BFS Union:

You know your child best. Below are ideas and language that you can use, but feel free to speak with your child in any way that is open, honest and comforting. Allow your child to ask questions, and answer them honestly. Don’t be afraid to say, “That’s a great question and I don’t know the answer. What do you think?”
Remind them that all adults at BFS care about them. This is also a great moment to learn more about the labor movement, strikes, and unions (see below for online resources, books, and films).

Talking points

  • BFS workers have a union so that decisions in the school get made in a fair way.

  • Workers at BFS love and care about students.

  • A union is a community. You know that in a community, people work together to make sure things are fair and that everybody gets what they need.

Ideas for Staying Connected to the Community

  • Make supportive posters for rallies or to post on social media.

  • Follow social media accounts for updates, activities and events:
