MILWAUKEE – Statement from MTEA President Ingrid Walker-Henry regarding MPS’s failure to pay workers on their regularly scheduled payday of January 2, 2026.

“It is unacceptable for MPS to fail to pay their workers on time, especially right after the holiday season. This failure does not inspire confidence in the MPS Office of Finance. MTEA expects that Superintendent Cassellius will apologize to our members and take immediate steps to ensure this never happens again.”
