Huge thanks to Dante Morelli, president of the @FASCC_NY, for serving as the MC at today’s Tier 6 rally! Dante was absolutely amazing — fired up, funny, and laser-focused on why this fight matters for every educator and public employee in New York. When Dante’s on the mic, you can feel the unity. 👏🔥 #FixTier6 #UnionStrong @nysut

Happy First day of School! Family School 32 is back and we’re sooo happy to welcome EVERYONE back!💛💙 @FamilySchool321 @AnibalSolerJr @RcollinsJudon @LissetteCC13 @YonkersSchools @yft860 @YonkersCPTA @DrF_Hernandez @YPSlearning @YonkersPD1 @MayorMikeSpano

So proud of New York for making sure every student can focus on their education, not their next meal. We love to see it! 💙

This bill is a disaster. It cuts education and healthcare to fund tax cuts for billionaires—adding $3.3 trillion to the deficit. That’s not fiscal responsibility. That’s economic sabotage. We’re fighting back. Our students and schools deserve better.

While we take the day to celebrate our independence, we must continue to fight for all those who are struggling or left behind. This is the ongoing work of labor unions, and we remain as committed as ever to our values. @AFTunion @nysut @WestPutAFLCIO @NYSAFLCIO

Happy 4th of July. It is more important than ever to renew our commitment to our nation's principles, including equality, liberty and opportunity for all. Our union will always work to strengthen our public schools and communities to ensure these shared values can be upheld for generations to come.

Congress voted to pass the largest job-killing bill in history. Congress voted to take away health care from 17 million people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. Congress voted to take away food assistance from 3 million people. Congress voted to betray working people.

In response to reported issues with the 2025 New York Regents exams, NYSUT President @MelindaJPerson has released a statement. Learn more: nysut.org/news/2025/july…

Our new classroom heat law goes into effect this fall, and it's already pushing districts to act. Heat waves aren't going away. It's important we prepare — students and educators deserve safe classrooms. @nysut cnycentral.com/news/local/syr…

Thank you for your heart, resilience & commitment this year. You showed up for our students, schools & each other. Now it’s time to rest, recharge & enjoy the break. You’ve earned it. Wishing you a peaceful, joyful summer! 🌞 #UnionStrong #ProudToBeYFT @nysut @aftunion @nysuttro
