On this Labor Day, this is why we choose our union!

These are just some of the things working people won by standing together.

That work didn’t stop. Every time we organize, speak up and have each other’s backs, we have a chance to make work—and life—a little better for all of us.

That’s why we choose to belong.

Last year, Princess Moss came to Utah, stood alongside educators and public workers, and personally gathered signatures to protect our collective bargaining rights.

Together, Utah workers submitted more than 320,000 signatures in a record-breaking referendum effort that helped repeal HB 267.

Today, Princess Moss begins her term as president of the National Education Association. Members across the US, including the Utah member delegation, voted her into office last summer.

For UEA, her leadership already feels personal. We have seen her show up, listen and stand with working people when it matters.

We’re proud to see NEA President Princess Moss bring that same commitment to educators across the country as we keep building stronger public schools and a stronger voice for the people who make them work. 🍎
