New York State United Teachers (NYSUT) was created in 1972 by the merger of the New
York State Teachers Association (NYSTA) and the United Teachers of New York (UTNY).
NYSTA had been affiliated with the National Education Association (NEA), and UTNY
with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). UTNY was the statewide organization
whose United Federation of Teachers (UFT), led by Albert Shanker, was the predominant
teachers' union in New York City. In joining with United Teachers and affiliating
with the AFT, NYSUT also became a member union of the AFL-CIO.
In 1976, NYSUT voted to disaffiliate with the NEA. Some locals left NYSUT and created
the NYEA (New York Educators Association), which became the state affiliate for the
NEA. In the early 1980s, NYEA changed its name to NEA-NY.
NYEA/NEA- NY viewed association with the AFL-CIO's industrial unions as undermining
the professional image and independence of teachers. The two organizations also differed
strongly on aspects of the governance structure, particularly with respect to ethnic
minority representation, with NYSUT opposed to mandatory minimums. The rivalry between
NYSUT and NYEA/NEA-NY in organizing new locals expended a great deal of resources
for both labor organizations.
While competition with NYEA/NEA-NY was a constant focus of NYSUT's organizing efforts
for teachers, NYSUT was also organizing college faculty members, nurses, and other
non-teaching personnel. Once members were organized, NYSUT continued to advocate for
teachers' and other workers' rights through contract support and legal services at
the local level and political involvement at the state and federal levels, supporting
candidates and legislation that protected funding, due process, and working conditions.
NEA-N Y merged with NYSUT in 2006, by which time NYSUT had grown to more than half
a million members, becoming the largest union in New York State.
NYSUT's Legislative Department, a relatively small unit composed of just about a dozen
members, was the engine behind the political powerhouse NYSUT had become by the 1980s.
Reporting to the executive vice president, the department coordinated with the Legal
Department and the Division of Research and Educational Services to develop an annual
Legislative Program for the union, and then to push it relentlessly though the state
legislature, from finding a sponsor for it in the Assembly or Senate, until it was
signed by the governor. In addition to initiating legislation, the department tracked
bills proposed independently by legislators, including proposals it considered detrimental
to NYSUT's interests. All bills -- typically, some 15,000 per session -- would be
reviewed. Of those 15,000, the approximately 3,000 that were determined to have an
impact on education or health care were tracked on a daily basis by the department's
electronic monitoring system. Receiving especially careful scrutiny was the annual
budget proposed by the governor, for its impact on state aid to public education,
including higher education provided by the State University of New York (SUNY) and
its community colleges, and the City University of New York (CUNY). NYSUT's affiliate,
United University Professions (UUP), regularly coordinated lobbying efforts with the
department on behalf of higher education funding. The Legislative Department's overall
lobbying operation was carried out not only by its professional staff in one-on-one
contacts with individual legislators, but by a large group of volunteers, including
retirees, who comprised its Committee of 100. Appointed by local presidents throughout
the state, these teachers, school bus drivers, cafeteria ladies (aka School-Related
Personnel), community college local presidents, and nurses (though NYSUT's affiliate,
Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals), converged on Albany at least once
a year, like birds returning in spring, to visit their local legislators on targeted,
high-priority pending legislation.
In addition to state legislation, federal initiatives were also on the radar of
the Legislative Department. The department knew what laws were in the congressional
pipeline and who was behind them, and let them know of NYSUT's interest. The Legislative
Department's purview included recommending endorsements to the NYSUT Board of Directors
-- for president, Congress, and statewide down to the Assembly district level -- and
then working with NYSUT's political action committee, VOTE/COPE (Committee on Political
Education), to elect (or reelect) those candidates through a massive effort including
phonebanks to members, specially printed campaign literature, and direct financial
contributions.
Areas of interest to NYSUT included not only specific funding formulas for school
aid, but state taxation broadly, because it knew that any reduction in revenues could
ultimately be taken out of education funding. Legislation could be as narrow as giving
state retirement service credit for Korean War veterans to issues affecting all public
employees, such as the permanent COLA (cost of living adjustment) for retirees and
the Triborough amendment to the Taylor Law, governing contract agreements. Thus the
Legislative Department maintained contacts with a wide array of organizations and
was itself a resource to elected and appointed officials. Led in the 1980s and 1990s
by director of legislation Ray Skuse, a former Republican member of Assembly, the
department worked equally well with Republicans and Democrats. The successive NYSUT
executive vice presidents to whom the department reported, Dan Sanders, Herb Magidson,
and Alan Lubin, all rose from the ranks of NYSUT's affiliate in New York City, the
United Federation of Teachers (UFT), the political proving ground headed by Albert
Shanker.
1973-2005. Majority of materials cover 1990s, some 1980s. Contents include issues
briefing materials for lobbying days by Committee of 100, members of NYSUT, including
