Abstract:
NYSUT's field service operation provided ongoing assistance to local teachers associations
throughout the state. The department was divided into several geographic regional
offices, and field representatives associated with each office were assigned to school
districts within the area. Assistance focused primarily on contract negotiations and
grievances, which frequently involved arbitration and close cooperation with the NYSUT
Legal Department. These are the files of the NYSUT Mid-Hudson Regional Office, covering
the late 1980s through the 1990s. A large section of the files are devoted to Rhinecliff,
a Special Act school, one of many created by special acts of the state legislature
to provide education for students whose disruptive behaviors required their placement
outside the mainstream system. Complicating the different funding mechanisms and regulations
for staff under Education Law was the fact that the district was governed by a religious-affiliated
agency, Pius XII Family and Children Services. The files document how adversarial
the relationship was between the teacher's union, which struggled with issues of salary
parity and professional dignity, and the administration, some of whom came not from
the public education system but from the state corrections system. No issue -- whether
a door had two locks or three -- seemed too trivial to challenge either by the teachers
or the administration. By contrast, the files of the Wappingers district, a mainstream
public school district, are more typical of the orderly negotiations process encountered
by the NYSUT field representatives (later called labor relations specialists) on behalf
of teachers, school bus drivers, and other school related personnel.

Collection material in English
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.
Formerly organized under the Division of Field and Legal Services, NYSUT's regional
offices continue to provide direct support to teachers and school-related personnel
in every local district throughout the state. Field representatives, now called labor
relations specialists, are assigned to school districts to provide help with contract
negotiation, enforcement of contract provisions through the grievance and arbitration
process, and legal representation for members facing disciplinary charges. The Mid-Hudson
Regional Office is one of 16 such offices throughout the state.
These are the files of the NYSUT field services Mid-Hudson Regional Office, covering
the late 1980s through the 1990s. Assigned to regional offices throughout the state,
field representatives (later called labor relations specialists) provided assistance
to teachers and school-related personnel at school districts such as Rhinecliff, a
Special Act school for students with behavioral problems, and mainstream districts
like Wappingers, helping with grievances and contract negotiations.
