Colleagues,

1) Statement from President Abeigon regarding contract ratification - Recent headlines document that our struggle to continue to survive is real. Despite a major victory in its defense, our well-funded enemies will not stop their attacks on Seniority (LIFO: Last In First Out), nor will they stop attacking Tenure.  

On May 11th, from 7am-7pm, we can use this contract ratification vote to send a message that we believe in the importance of Collective Bargaining Agreements, that we care about students, that we care about our benefits, and that we care about Contracts and the promises

Dear Brothers & Sisters:

Recent headlines document that our struggle to survive is real.  Attacks on Seniority (LIFO), attacks on tenure, etc. Our well-funded enemies are still everywhere.  With this contract ratification vote on May 11^th 7 a.m.-7 p.m. We have an opportunity to show the boss that we do care about collective bargaining agreements, we do care about students, contracts, benefits, and all the promises and protections these provide. Union Democracy  is not an app, nor a "Like" a vote.  Here at the NTU, we gets calls every week from charter school teachers wishing they had a contract

Colleagues,

On Thursday, May 11, 2017, we will hold a ratification vote for our contract settlement.  Voting will run from 7 AM to 7 PM at the Newark Teachers Union, 1019 Broad Street.  Parking is available behind the building. 

Please bring ID, as only full dues paying members will be eligible to vote.  We will be working with the Newark Public Schools on getting information out to administrators about allowing staff to come down to the Union to vote during their lunch periods. 

We will have members of the negotiating team available at the Newark Teachers Union to answer questions after school

HAPPY TEACHERS APPRECIATION WEEK FROM THE NTU, AFT, and NJEA!
