Why should I join the EMC-I Local #7040?

Teachers' unions represent educators by negotiating wages, benefits, and improved working conditions through collective bargaining while protecting members from arbitrary administrative actions. They advocate for better school funding, influence education policy and curriculum, and provide professional development and workplace protections that can improve student learning environments. In addition to focusing on member benefits, unions work to attract and retain qualified teachers to strengthen the overall quality of public education.

How can I get involved with the union?

Teachers can get involved with their local union by joining as members, attending meetings, serving as building representatives, joining committees, running for office, and using union-offered professional development and communication channels to stay informed. Engagement also includes understanding the local contract, participating in advocacy and political efforts to increase school funding, and using resources from national organizations like the NEA or AFT.
