Colleagues,
October 26, 2017 — “There is little accountability for management when it punishes university employees for speaking out about their working conditions. Two members of my union are now facing this problem…. United Faculty and Academic Staff is circulating a petition that calls for the reinstatement of these two instructors and an end to intimidation of university employees who speak out about their working conditions.”

We will not be intimidated: Fighting on for equity
By Alyssa Franze
Every year, at the NYSUT Regional Office Leadership Conference, educators from all around Central New York gather to talk about union issues, share ideas, and develop ways to improve their schools and their profession. And, while they're at it, they support a vital community effort--Strides Against Breast Cancer.
This year was no exception.
From October 13th to 15th, more than 150 unionists gathered in Alexandria Bay for this important conference and at the same time worked to raise money for the American Cancer Society's fight against breast cancer. Through donations from individuals and union locals, this Strides event raised $17,920!
And the APA was part of that effort. This year's event theme was "50's Sock Hop," so we got into the mood by creating a basket full of amusements from that famous decade; candies, toys, games, vintage comics and 45's, and nostalgic videos all added to the fun. Member donations made it possible for our local to create a basket for the raffle, and APA Vice-president Ellis Gage Searles, who co-chaired the event, delivered it on our behalf. There was a very impressive array of creative baskets, but we do believe ours held its own!
The Baltimore Teachers Union held their 35th annual QuEST Conference and Health Fair. There were a number of breakout sessions, panels and conversations that all worked to give BTU members tools and resources to help them better serve their young people.
