The UFT calls on the DOE to recruit, hire and retain special education teachers, counselors, nurses, OT/PT, speech, social workers, paraprofessionals, hearing services and all titles that deal with special education to create a supportive learning environment for all.

The UFT will urge the Mayor and Chancellor to adopt the Class Size Working Group’s proposals to ensure that schools are able to lower class sizes to the levels required by law.

The UFT supports parents and the community in their desire to advocate for their young people’s fair and just education in New York City’s public schools. 

The UFT honors the creativity, innovation, contributions, and impact of women to our beloved union and our society at large during this Women's History Month.

The UFT shall educate its members about the significant implications of the Paraprofessionals and Education Support Staff Bill of Rights and the Preparing and Retaining All (PARA) Educators Act, emphasizing the potential benefits for paraprofessionals.

The UFT resolves to continue our founders’ work to preserve public education, protect workers’ rights and do our part in solidarity with our fellow workers to fight for a nation and world where we all can live and thrive in our workplaces and in our personal lives.
