APSTA

Proud to see our APSTA President (and NYSUT Executive Board Member), Laura Franz, join Randi Weingarten at the American Labor Studies Center Annual Reception as she was honored with the prestigious Kate Mullany Medal.

This well-deserved recognition celebrates a lifetime of leadership, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to working people, public education, and the labor movement.

Congratulations to Randi on this incredible honor and thank you for your continued fight for educators, students, and unions everywhere!

🌈 Lace up your walking shoes & join us at the Capital Pride Parade! March alongside fellow union members, families, friends, and allies as we celebrate inclusion, equality, and the strength of our community.

We hope you’ll walk with us and help make our union’s presence loud and proud! ❤️

Big win for educators and public employees across New York! 🎉

Tier 6 reform is officially included in the state budget — proof that when union members organize, advocate, and raise their voices together, change happens.

We’re proud to stand together in solidarity as we continue the fight to fully Fix Tier 6 and protect the future of public education. 💪🍎

*Updated flier image posted!* WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN!

AGE REQUIREMENT FOR TRS DECREASED FROM 63 ➡️ 58!!!!!!!

From massive rallies in Albany to growing bipartisan support, educators and public workers across the state are demanding retirement fairness. This is a massive WIN for APSTA, NYSUT, and our labor allies.

But, our message remains clear: Equal work deserves equal retirement dignity. We won’t stop fighting until every educator and public servant gets the fair pension they earned. ✊🍎

Your voice. Your schools. Your vote.

School board and budget votes help decide the future of our public schools, students, and community. Don’t sit this one out — make your voice heard and get out and vote!

See you at Pine Hills tonight, Building Reps and Alts!

Happy Mother’s Day to every kind of mom in our union family and community — moms, stepmoms, grandmothers, foster moms, adoptive moms, pet moms, mother figures, and all those who nurture, guide, support, and care for others every day. ❤️

THANK YOU TEACHERS!!!!!
