The Importance of Union Membership
Remember: The union is YOU
When asked why they entered the profession almost all teachers reply, “To make a difference in students’ lives.” Rarely is the answer, “To join a union.” But with union solidarity we have positioned ourselves to make a great difference in public education. Teachers, like other labor groups, have ORGANIZED for one reason: To take into our own hands the responsibility for the future of our profession, our communities, and our families. The ground rules for your teaching and working conditions are governed by the terms of the contract between the union and the school district.
