Whereas, since its founding, the UFT has become one of our nation’s greatest unions with 200,000 members and a history of outstanding accomplishments; be it therefore

Resolved, that on this 48th anniversary, we pay tribute to our founders and to our members who through the years, as a result of their loyalty and dedication, have made it possible for us today to proudly say, we are members of the United Federation of Teachers.
