We are working hard to make this site your go-to place for all union related material.
The information we will post includes (but is not limited to): meeting notices, events calendar, and AFT/NYSUT articles. We welcome your input, so please let Stacey Revette know if you would like to see anything additional. We will try our best to update this page in a timely fashion.
Monday is Labor Day. It is exactly what it sounds like: it is a day set aside to honor and commemorate all that labor unions have contributed to the work environment. All of the gains achieved through the labor movement have had such a tremendous, positive, and noteable impact on the wages, hours, and working conditions of this country that this day was created and maintained as a national holiday for over 120 years. 9/1/17
