About Us

WE ARE THE UNION.

We are a member-driven, grassroots movement of proud UFT members organizing and mobilizing to build union power and to increase member awareness and voice.

We are committed to fight for better pay, healthcare, pension & retiree benefits and working conditions.

We demand a better contract for all UFT members and our school communities.

It’s time for a better contract with the City of New York and a better social contract with our union leadership, altogether

Together, we will forge a stronger union where all our voices matter.
