LETS EXPAND THE ACTION TEAM

Hello Action Team Member,

Your efforts have helped to increase activism in the WTU and awareness for the WTU member's issues around the city. To date we have almost 250 members of the WTU action team, have distributed over 10,000 flyers at metro stops and put out over 3000 yard signs in the district and surrounding areas generating more and more support for DC teachers!

It is important that we continue with our momemtum. With the end of the school year approaching we need to try and expand our action team going into the summer.

Please fill out the Action Team form and sign up 1 other person at your school that is currently not an action team member. If everyone signs one person we can go from 250 to 500 in a matter of days! You should submit your name by Next Wednesday June 10th no later than 5pm. You can fax your form to the WTU office at 202-293-8633 or email me your person's contact info.

Keep up all the good work and if you have any questions please feel free to call or email me!

For WTU Members

The Washington Teachers' Union (WTU) is here to serve our members, and we encourage you to visit this blog often.

Join US!

As a new teacher in DCPS, you are automatically a member of the WTU bargaining unit as an agency fee member; however, we would like to invite you to become a full WTU member. The WTU bargaining unit consists of two categories of members: agency fee members and full union members. As an agency fee member your biweekly deduction is $28.22 and the biweekly deduction for full union membership is $33.20; a difference of only $4.98 per pay period.

As a full dues paying member of the WTU, you are entitled to representation from our highly qualified field representatives, Professional Development and Educational Research & Dissemination courses, and American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Plus benefits such as $1,000,000 liability policy and $15,000 accidental death insurance. Full dues paying members also obtain voting rights to participate in local school elections, the approval of the WTU contract, and the upcoming general election of union officers. As teachers who will have the responsibility for supervising children throughout the day, we strongly encourage all teachers to become full union members to take advantage of the $1,000,000 liability insurance coverage to protect your financial assets against possible lawsuits.
