Join the fight for the contract we deserve

Fair contract now gfx - 3 Up

UFT members are currently working under an expired contract.  A fair contract would provide a fair wage increase to educators; allow more time to support students with less time spent on unnecessary tasks; ensure a safe school environment; and grant educators adequate prep time, among other important working-condition improvements.

Every day, members of the UFT go above and beyond academics and provide a well-rounded education that includes social-emotional support and a caring, inclusive environment. Students need their educators more than ever, and educators need this contract. Join our fight.

UFT Contract Rallies

Thousands of UFT members came together in five simultaneous borough rallies to demand a fair contract. Elected officials, community members, students, family and friends stood beside them in support.

At the Brooklyn rally, UFT President Michael Mulgrew blasted the over-testing and paperwork that is eating up time better spent on students. "We give an assessment, and then we give an assessment on the assessment, and then we give an assessment to check the assessment on the assessment. Is that helping children?"
