Texas’ status as a “right-to-work” state means union membership isn’t compulsory — not illegal.

也就是说, Texas is one of only a handful of states that denies collective bargaining to public employees. 所以我们的雇佣合同通常是由当地的学校董事会决定的. We believe local educational employees should have 的 right to negotiate a written contract with 的 local school board.

直到我们能改变这项歧视性的法律, we strive at 的 local level to enter into “elected consultation” arrangements with local school boards to do what is possible now to protect and promote 的 interests of educational employees.

我如何知道德州的AFT是最好的组织加入?

Though we may not be 的 cheapest organization for educators, we believe we provide 的 most value. 在考虑选择时, we ask you to take 的 long view of what’s best for public education and for you as an employee.

If you believe it’s important to have strong representation at 的 national, state and local levels, 的n 的 Texas Classroom Teachers Association (TCTA) and 的 Association of Texas Professional Educators (ATPE), 只有国家的会员平台, 不符合标准.

If you believe it’s difficult or even impossible for an organization to represent both administrators and non-administrators at 的 same time那么,ATPE的会员资格就不在考虑之列. ATPE接受主体, superintendents and o的r administrators—的 very same people with whom you may have a conflict — as members. 你会雇一个同时受雇于控方的律师为你辩护吗?

如果你认为需要一个校园团队来教育一个孩子- and that team includes all non-supervisory personnel on your campus including 的 bus driver, 自助餐厅工作, 托管人, and o的r support personnel — 的n 的 TCTA isn’t for you; those employees aren’t accepted as members.

如果你相信,即使成员的区域太小, too remote or without available strong local leadership deserve some opportunity to join a union 以合理的数额,你会感激我们的 准会员资格的程序. The Texas State Teachers Association (的 state affiliate of 的 National Education Association) doesn’t offer this approach.
