Teachers Union
What is the Teachers Union
and how does it work?
A teachers union is an organization of teaching professionals who advocate to protect the rights and interests of teachers. Union representatives participate in collective bargaining, which is a negotiation between the school district and the union over a contract that determines working conditions, compensation, and benefits. If an agreement cannot be reached, it may result in a teachers’ strike.
