The WBLTA took the unprecedented step of formally adopting a legislative stance for approval of the HITA Bill (Health Insurance Transparency and Accountability Act).  As you know, health insurance premiums have skyrocketed in the past few years.  This bill will go a long way towards curbing the worst abuses that lead to higher costs.

Today members of the SCTA gathered along with thousands of other local unions, activists, parents and students to SAY NO TO CUOMO.  Governor Andrew Cuomo was attending a Democratic Committee event as an "honored" guest and speaker. The rally was spirited and a great show of solidarity and togetherness in our fight for public education.
