Did You Know??

Did you know….that if you face a potentially life-threatening illness or surgery that filing a ‘Disability Retirement

Application’ prior to any procedure provides a safety net for you and your beneficiaries?

 

In most cases, the lump-sum retirement payment a beneficiary would receive if something

happens to you would be significantly more than an in-service death benefit.

The Constitutional Convention

In 2037, when the call goes up again in New York for a statewide Constitutional Convention, where will RVCTA be?

The answer lies in you, my union brothers and sisters.

In November, our many New York unions became one voice, defeating the constitutional convention by a historical margin of 82%. That vote sent a powerful message that unions are alive and strong.

Welcome to the Rockville Centre Teachers' Association website, a source for you, our members. We hope that this site will serve as your "go to" place for current information, forms and calendar updates.

What unions do

In AFT President Randi Weingarten’s latest New York Times  column, she describes what it is exactly that unions do. Though unions are the most popular they have been in decades, anti-union sentiment still thrives in red states and across the nation. “Several years ago, The Atlantic ran a story whose headline made even me, a labor leader, scratch my head: ‘Union Membership: Very Sexy,’” Weingarten writes in the column. “The gist was that higher wages, health benefits and job security—all associated with union membership—boost one’s chances of getting married. Belonging to a union doesn’t actually guarantee happily ever after, but it does help working people have a better life in the here and now.” Click through to read the full column.
