The Union Update

The WTU needs your voice and your support more than ever! We’re asking members to step up by donating to the WTU Leave Banks, help us reach 1,000 signatures for our Support International Teachers petition, and join our upcoming committee meetings to shape the future of our schools. Plus, don’t miss our Know Your Rights section, where we highlight the strict class size limits guaranteed by the contract. Together, we protect our colleagues, our students, and our profession—take action today!

If you didn't donate a minimum of 8 hours after September 2, then you are NOT in the WTU Leave Bank
There are only a few days left until our September 30 deadline and we need you to join the WTU Leave Banks.  We are extremely thankful to those who have donated. Here are the schools that are showing up and showing out for our community
