Congratulations to the newly hired educators who have joined the union so far this year! Your decision to become a member is a crucial step towards building a strong and impactful union. By joining together with your fellow educators, you are creating a movement that has the power to advocate for the needs of both students and teachers alike.

By coming together, educators have the power to make change in schools and negotiate union contracts with better pay, benefits, and learning conditions. Extra benefits of union membership include legal services for work-related issues, a $1 million liability insurance policy, and access to discounted disability insurance. 

When we join together, we can fight and win for students, schools, and our profession!

If you’re not yet a member of SDEA, you can join online now.
