Take Action

The UFT is a strong union because of our membership. It’s why you have job security, teacher tenure, preparation periods, maximum teaching loads, premium-free healthcare and much more. Our enemies want to take all of this away from us. Now more than ever, we must stand together and take care of each other.

We did it! We launched our campaign for paid parental leave in November 2017 because we believed UFT members deserved better and we were not making headway in behind-the-scenes negotiations. More than 7,000 of our members joined our fight.

We want to showcase the great things that are happening in our public schools every day, honor our students’ accomplishments and illustrate the joys of teaching and learning.

As a union member, you will have access to valuable benefits and have a voice in your professional life that non-members don’t have.
