UFT borough offices
The UFT has an office in each borough staffed by specially trained representatives who can answer members’ questions about salary, certification and licensing, health coverage and other benefits, educational requirements, safety, pension and much more.
Our borough office staff
Each office is staffed by a borough representative, a district representative (DR, for short) for every community school district, a high school representative and several special representatives.
The borough representative coordinates each borough’s activities. Part of the borough rep’s job is to act as the union’s chief political representative in the borough, lobbying elected officials and other decision-makers on behalf of the public schools. The other UFT reps handle problems or grievances that cannot be settled at the school level and address matters of districtwide significance.
Our hours of operation
During the school year, UFT borough offices are open Monday, 10 a.m.–7 p.m. and Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.Â
Our new visitor policy

Children under 12 do not need to provide proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test but those over age 2 must remain masked throughout their visit to the UFT office.
