So often we hear the question, “What is the union doing about. . .?” In reality the union is not the leadership, but it is the members – YOU are the union. The union’s strength depends on active and involved members. What are you doing to support students, teachers and our profession? What union activities are you participating in or promoting? Where are you using your voice to improve working conditions and to educate others about our profession?
Orange CTA provides an opportunity for teachers to have a voice, to collaborate and to work together so that every teacher has the tools and resources needed to ensure that all students reach their highest potential. Our union’s strength depends upon every individual member’s voice.
Every member must commit to being heard beyond the walls of their school. Our voices must be expressed in letters to the editor, at school board meetings, at community events, in our statehouse, and in our nation’s capital. Now, more than ever, our united voice must rise above the voices of those who profit from our profession and work to silence the voices of the teachers. All of us must commit, not just to our students, but also to joining all of our union’s brothers and sisters in Orlando, in Florida and across the nation to speak loudly and proudly to protect our profession.
