Why Should YOU Join?

Higher union membership strengthens our position at both statewide and local bargaining tables. More members mean a better contract and less chance of a strike.

Union dues are your fair share of funds to process grievances. By joining the union, you help keep these funds available for the time when you or a colleague needs grievance support. The union provides this support whether you join or not.

Joining the union allows you to vote for officers and to be a candidate for an officership.

Member Action: Corbett Planning to Cut Teacher Pensions

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett intends to move forward with a plan that would cost future teacher retirees an average of $16,166 per year.  It is also estimated that it would cost the state approximately $47.3 billion to adopt the plan—more than the entire current unfunded pension liabilities combined.

This proposal is a lose-lose. Taxpayers lose, teachers lose, and it will only make the very real economic problems our state faces even worse.
