RTC Chapter Leader Column
We remain one union
We may have differences, but we all work together on the important stuff. We put members first, and we don’t let our differences get in the way of our similarities.
Welcome to the new RTC
The RTC’s voice is more powerful than it’s ever been, and the chapter is poised to be more active and engaged than ever before. Longtime retirees’ wisdom and experience combined with newer members’ energy and ideas is a winning recipe for protecting and improving our benefits.
The summer of our discontent
In the months leading up to November's momentous presidential election, we can remain on the sidelines and let the bad guys make the decisions, or we can enter the political fray, enlist our friends and allies in the battle and forge victories.
Get ready, Get set, VOTE!
It’s time again for Retired Teachers Chapter elections. Every three years, RTC members vote to elect who they want to lead their chapter.
Remember the achievements
William Faulkner famously said, “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” In our politically forgetful society, many forget what happened in politics last month, let alone what happened two or three years ago.
Our growing role at the AFT
While the national union may seem distant from our activist local in New York City, we are, in fact, an integral part of the AFT. The AFT’s bird’s eye view keeps us involved in national issues and policies that affect the wider labor movement and working families.
