United Federation of Teachers

Overview

The United Federation of Teachers (UFT) negotiates for fair and competitive salaries, enhanced professionalism, and improved working conditions, not only to benefit its members but also to help recruit and retain the best educators for New York City schools. As an advocate for public school students, the UFT regularly lobbies for appropriate school funding by the city, state and federal governments. In addition, the union has strongly supported and often led efforts to: raise academic standards and strengthen instruction; reduce class size; create safer, more orderly schools; improve school facilities; and increase parent involvement in schools.
