If you aren’t sure whether or not you are already a member, look at your pay stub. If the deduction code says “UFT,” it means you are a member.
If you are not a member, joining is very simple. Active DOE employees, retirees and charter school employees whose school has a UFT bargaining agreement may enroll in the UFT online. If you have any questions about enrollment eligibility or run into difficulty with the online union enrollment process, please call the UFT at 212-331-6311. They will be happy to assist you.
Other job titles should contact their chapters or call the UFT at 212-331-6311 to enroll.
