Smith College Childcare Workers Rally Against Closure

Local 2322: Smith College Childcare Workers Rally Against Closure
Wednesday, October 28 | 4 PM | Pulaski Park, Northampton, MA

This week, families and staff learned from a surprise email that Smith College plans to close its Fort Hill Center for Early Childhood Education, just after the center’s historic 100th anniversary. No parents, faculty, students, or Fort Hill staff were involved in this decision. The impact of Fort Hill's closure would be devastating for current families, faculty, staff, students, alums, the local community, and the college's reputation.

Fort Hill’s teachers voted unanimously in 2024 to unionize with UAW Local 2322. The union is asking supporters to join them at a rally this coming Wednesday. Follow @forthillteachersassociation on Instagram for the latest updates on their campaign against closure.
