Your Union

As a UFT member, you become part of an organization that’s dedicated to:

• Helping you succeed in your career.
• Securing you a good salary and benefits.
• Improving the education of New York City’s schoolchildren.

Founded in 1960 but with a heritage going back to the early 20th century, the United Federation of Teachers is a dynamic force, fighting in City Hall and in Albany for whatever it takes to further those goals.

With 200,000 members representing not just non-supervisory city school employees but also home childcare providers, hospital nurses and other healthcare providers and private school educators, the UFT is part of a national network of locals of the 1.4 million-member American Federation of Teachers.

This section of uft.org is proof of the UFT’s commitment, as well as of the enormous resources that your union puts at your command.
