      The NYSUT Women’s Committee has four main goals: encourage more locals to develop in-house women’s committees; educate female members about the work of the union; highlight women-specific issues, including inequalities in pay, health care and education; and involve more union women in leadership roles.

    • HERstories

      Our HERstories highlight the strong female leaders in our union, and help to empower more women to take on leadership roles in all sorts of ways within their local unions, their communities, and within NYSUT.
