Being a union member means you have someone standing up for you, so that you can focus on what you do best - educating and supporting students. When we stand together as members of a strong union, we have a seat at the table to fight for students, good working conditions, and the salaries and benefits educators deserve.

As a union member, you have access to a wealth of resources - from rich professional learning and growth opportunities to legal representation and assistance pertaining to your employment rights.
