Newark Schools - Handing Back the Keys Is a Start by President Abeigon
Twenty-two years of state takeover of the Newark Public Schools came to an end on February 1, 2018. Books have been written on the subject and no doubt more will be written in the future. Hundreds of newspaper articles and opinion pieces have been published regarding the infamous $100 million Facebook donation. Most of that donation went to settle labor contracts (two years in arears, mind you), but the balance was consumed by so-called education reform groups and consultants.

Letter from President - Knowing your Weingarten Rights!
Brothers & Sisters:
This may be the most important email we have ever sent you. Recently, we have had a lot of questions from members about getting union representation AFTER having a meeting with their administrator go in a bad direction.
REMEMBER! YOUR ADMINISTRATOR IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO REMIND YOU OF YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE UNION REPRESENTATION!
Letter from President - November 21, 2016
Dear Brothers & Sisters:
While our Negotiations Team is working hard to exhaust every possible way of securing us a fair and equitable contract, the NTU remains active in defending our Union and your rights on several other fronts. We must fight these fights, alone if necessary, for what good is a contract without benefits and rights.
Letter from President - One door opens, one door closes...
Colleagues,
You have all heard the saying, when one door opens, another one closes. Well the NTU doesn’t accept that willingly. When one door opens and another one closes we stick our foot in the door jam and demand to know what’s going on in there.
