2025 is the Year
We Transform our Union
We’re fighting for…
Fair Pay for All UFT Members
Ensure fair pay for all educators and raises that outpace inflation
Higher pay and yearly raises for paraprofessionals
End backroom contract deals and mobilize for the 2027 contract negotiations
Better Working Conditions
More school counselors, social workers, librarians, nurses and secretaries in every school
Teacher control over curriculum
Protection for probationary teachers, preventing unjust firings by abusive principals
12 weeks of paid family leave
Healthcare
Stop increasing copays and other healthcare givebacks
Use the Welfare Fund surplus to improve benefits
Advocate for single-payer laws like the New York Health Act to permanently solve our healthcare crisis
Vote for the union educators and students deserve
We are the Alliance of Retired and In-Service Educators and are excited to announce our intent to run in the 2025 UFT elections. Composed of three major UFT caucuses, and open for any UFT member to join, we bring decades of experience in bettering conditions for NYC educators.
