NYSUT is committed to the effective representation of public service professionals, and the promotion of the principles and public services that have grown our great democracy.
Organizing and mobilizing are essential among public sector professionals because decisions about our jobs – funding levels, program priorities, wages and benefits – are determined by policymakers in politically-charged environments. Through strong legislative and political action capacity at every level of the union based on member involvement, we secure better contracts and legislation that recognize the value of public services and the contributions made every day by government employees.
