Dedicated to advocating for educators, Middletown Teachers Association is committed to ensuring fair treatment and benefits for all teachers. With a strong focus on professional development and community engagement, we strive to create a supportive environment for educators to thrive. Our union actively participates in conferences and events, collaborating with NYSUT to champion the rights and welfare of teachers across the state.

Solidarity in Action: Fixing Tier 6!

Following our high-energy Pop-Up Social at Aspire, our dedicated members took that momentum straight to Albany! We are so proud of the educators who represented our district at the historic Fix Tier 6 Rally at the MVP Arena.

​

Standing alongside 15,000 union siblings from across New York, our voices were heard loud and clear as we demanded pension fairness and a dignified retirement for all public servants. It was an inspiring day of advocacy, community, and union pride.

The MTA hosted a Happy Hour at The Old Erie, giving teachers the opportunity to relax, connect with one another, and spend time together outside the classroom. During the event, important information about the Fix Tier Six rally was also shared with members.
In October the MTA hosted a Happy Hour to raise money for our scholarship fund, collecting $166 in donations! A big thank-you to everyone who participated—and to our raffle winner, who generously donated her prize back to support the cause.

This summer, our MTA leaders attended the NYSUT Summer Leadership Conference, where they honed their leadership skills, connected with fellow union advocates, and heard an inspiring address from NYSUT President Melinda Person. These opportunities strengthen our leaders’ ability to serve, advocate, and guide our members—making our union stronger and more united than ever.
