WHATEVER YOU NEED,
YOUR UNION IS THERE FOR YOU!

See how by clicking on the above photo.  Region 3's powerful story of union solidarity and legal protection really helped strengthen the message that the union is there for its members.

Encourage your non-member colleagues to join WEAC.  Ask them to take charge of their profession and have their voice heard. 

How can they join WEAC?  Here are some options:

As a member, you can count on the support of fellow members, union leaders and staff to stand with you on matters that affect your profession, schools and students.
Union membership brings a strong, collective voice to the issues affecting you and provides stability in an ever-changing and increasingly stressful environment.

What's YOUR Best Story?

I'm a member because . . .

We need to stand together for the good of public education and the teaching profession.

Political Action
This is an 11.0101(10)(b)(1) communication with WEAC members

Tell Your Senators to Support Health Care that Works for all Wisconsin Families

The revised Senate health care bill converts Medicaid to a system of capped payments to states and pegs future adjustments to the consumer price index instead of medical care costs - which generally rise faster. The result? It is estimated federal Medicaid outlays will decrease 26 percent by 2026. This endangers all students, especially the most vulnerable children, and the public schools that serve them.
