The strength of 700,000
Christopher Sutorius
The union brings us together, and together, we’re stronger.
“You may be an aide. You may be a custodial staff member. I may be a clerical staff. But we all work together.”
— Stacy Stoliker, Rhinebeck Association of Non-Instructional Employees
The union takes care of its members — at work and at home.
“I am able to teach, contribute to my family and take care of my own children because my union fought for a defined workday, fair wages and decent health care benefits.”
— Lia Council, Yonkers Federation of Teachers

The union gives you a voice so you can protect your patients and your profession.
“If I see that there is something wrong, I have to speak up. Not only for my patients, but for my colleagues.”
— Maria Paradiso, Federation of Nurses/UFT
The union ensures that you and the students you serve have the resources they need.
“What we need to do is fight for the resources that students deserve, so that we all have workloads that are reasonable, that give us the time to do the excellent work that we want to do and that we can do.”
— Laura Murphy, Dutchess Community College United Educators

The union fights for you. Your pay, benefits and rights on the job aren’t handed down. They’re negotiated by members like you, backed by your union and defended every day after.
“I am proud to be a member of a union that has fought for so long to ensure that SRPs are afforded the rights they deserve.”
— Mary Anne Hall, United Liverpool Faculty Association, Teachers Assistants of Liverpool

The union’s superpower isn’t a program or a perk. It’s 700,000+ people who show up for each other, day in and day out.
“Union leadership doesn’t come with a checklist. It reveals itself when our members are hurting, when the stakes are high, and when doing the right thing demands more than we ever expected to give.”
— Mindy Heath, UUP | Upstate Medical Center
And with your continued support, we’ll keep fighting.
