What We Do

We help public employees take charge of their workplace representation.

Decertify

If a majority of employees support it, a union can be dissolved outright, allowing for direct employer relationships and greater flexibility.

Independent Union

Independent unions are self-governing, provide employee control, lower dues, and can be formed by a core group of leaders.

Disaffiliation

Disaffiliation lets a local union sever ties with national affiliates, retaining its status and assets, but may face procedural challenges.

TRUSTED PARTNERS

We just wanted a union that put our students and our community first…we built exactly that. No politics, no top-down bureaucracy. Just real, local representation by teachers for teachers to better serve students.
