Standing Up For You
Educators are stronger together. When it comes to contract negotiations, salaries and benefits, workplace protections, and improving learning and working conditions, a stronger union means we’re working from a position of strength.
As individuals, we have a limited impact on decisions that are made in our districts. Coming together as members of a strong union is the best way to have a seat at the table to fight for students and good working conditions.
Our Priorities
We join together to amplify our voices to advocate for our students and our professions on four key issues.
