Hello, union family!
We’re excited to invite you to an important UFT Members Assembly: "The ABCs of Pay: Let's Talk!". In this Zoom meeting, we will dive into one of the most pressing issues for educators - fair compensation.
Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2024
Time: 7-8 PM
Location: Zoom [rsvp.uftmembers.org]
This is more than a meeting – it’s an opportunity to come together, share our experiences, and organize for meaningful change.
We’ll discuss:
- How current pay practices affect educators and our schools
- Strategies to push for improved compensation and conditions.
- Ways to strengthen our union through member-led action.
We will also share the feedback you all gave us about our tentative platform for A BETTER CONTRACT.
Lastly, we will announce the upcoming meeting dates for our various subcommittees/work groups. It's time to roll up our sleeves for the transformative change we seek.
Why This Matters:
75% of our members don’t vote in union elections, but we believe that by coming together and focusing on issues like pay, we can build a movement that speaks to our concerns. Whether you’re a long-time educator, retiree or new to the profession, your voice and perspective are vital.
How You Can Help:
1. Attend the meeting – Your input matters!
2. Spread the word – Share this email or invite a colleague who cares about pay and fair working conditions.
Get involved – Join our efforts to create a stronger, more member-driven union. [join.uftmembers.org]
Let’s make this assembly a turning point for our union and our profession.
