NYCDOE Policy on Union Election Materials

The United Federation of Teachers (UFT) is holding elections for union officers this year. Your school may receive a visit from a retired UFT member who would like to place election materials in staff mailboxes. This memo outlines the NYCDOE’s policy with respect to union elections, which permits retired employees, and employees represented by the UFT, to disseminate non-inflammatory election material in staff mailboxes during non-working time.
