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.
The Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals began in 1978 with an organizing
drive at Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn, where nurses voted overwhelmingly to
join the United Federation of Teachers, the NYC affiliate of New York State United
Teachers (NYSUT); both teacher unions were affiliated with the American Federation
of Teachers. The Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals was created as the
AFT's umbrella organization for health care workers; within city limits, it was known
as the Federation of Nurses/UFT. Operationally, the union shared the same organizing
personnel and field infrastructure as NYSUT and UFT. The collection documents the
major organizing drives (and sometimes strikes) at Lutheran Medical and other voluntary
(private) hospitals, the Albany Visiting Nurses Association and other independent
staffing agencies, Bellevue Hospital, and the municipal network of the NYC Health
and Hospitals Corporation. Major areas of contention remained consistent regardless
of the size or status of the facility: staffing levels, long hours, and their impact
on patient care. Throughout a decade of profound challenges and changes to the health
care system, from institutional mergers and reorganizations, to new professional requirements,
to the sudden appearance and explosive growth of a strange new disease that came to
be called AIDS, nurses and other health professionals had the backup of the organizing
and research capabilities of NYSUT to help them find their way.
Files cover organizing activities from 1972 through 1989 by Federation of Nurses and
Health Professionals, an affiliate of NYSUT, and its counterpart in New York City,
Federation of Nurses UFT. This was the peak period of organizing activity for these
AFT unions, concentrated mainly in the New York City and Long Island metropolitan
area but also including some medical centers, nursing homes/rehabilitation centers,
and independent visiting nurse service agencies as far flung as Plattsburgh, Rochester,
and Buffalo. Also included are materials by FNHP's main competitor, the New York State
Nurses Association. Content of files comprise contract agreements, NLRB election decisions,
recruiting materials by the medical facilities, organizing materials by the unions,
anti-union correspondence by management, salary and benefit information, financial
filings, opinion surveys, and also materials dealing with important nursing issues
of the day, especially caring for the AIDS patient, dealing with the nursing shortage,
licensing requirements, and the advent of the nurse practitioner.
