New York State United Teachers (NYSUT) is more than 600,000 people who work in, or are retired from, New York's schools, colleges, and healthcare facilities. We are classroom teachers, college and university faculty and professional staff, school bus drivers, custodians, secretaries, cafeteria workers, teacher assistants and aides, nurses and healthcare technicians. 

 

NYSUT is a federation of more than 1,200 local unions, each representing its own members. We are affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA). We are also part of organized labor - the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) and of Education International, with more than 20 million members world wide.

​

We range in size from tiny locals of fewer than 10 members to the United Federation of Teachers, which represents more than 140,000 teachers and other school employees in New York City.

​

We are dedicated to improving not only our working conditions, but also our professions. We're united in a common commitment to improve the quality of education and healthcare for the people of New York.

​

NYSUT is a grassroots organization. We elect the people who lead our local unions and or state and national affiliates. We elect delegates to a state convention - the Representative Assembly - who discuss issues and set policy that determines the programs and services that NYSUT provides us.

​

Our NYSUT officers, elected by the Representative Assembly, oversee a professional staff that carries out the union's business. The convention delegates also elect a Board Of Directors, which determines policy between conventions.

​

NYSUT® is a federally registered service mark of the New York State United Teachers.
