GTA Women's Network is part of a committee to review ways we can combat this issue in the Rochester Area as well as across the state.
Please see the NYSUT webpage for more information on ways you can help.
Did you know that the Equal Rights Amendment has been passed by all the necessary states? The only thing preventing it from being added to the Constitution is a time stamp! We need this amendment to protect

Have you ever talked to a GTA member who had to pump while at work? Most of us have horror stories and battle scars from the experience. Did you know it is possible to pump in private -- in a space that is comfortable and welcoming? Did you know that it is the law? Our committee is working on making this kind of space a reality for our members. Want to know how you can help? Ask your building if they have a dedicated space that can be utilized and attend our committee meetings for more info.
Is your family growing? Do you need information about your leave options (Article 20 of the contract)?
