Community Support
We understand that our membership often times needs community assistance & services and may not know where to turn. We want to keep our website updated so that our membership can find information and get connected with organizations that provide assistance to low income families and folks in the community. Below is information on organizations and upcoming events.
Becoming a Department Steward
Department Stewards are integral to having a strong and healthy union. Our stewards organize, engage & inform members and potential members in their departments. They act as a liaison between the department and the union, We currently have TAU members in every department on campus. Below is a list of our current TAU stewards & how to contact them!

Finally—it’s President-elect Biden
Patience—counseled by former Vice President Joe Biden all election week as Americans waited for votes to be counted—finally paid off Nov. 7, four days after Election Day, when Biden won in Pennsylvania and gained enough Electoral College votes to acquire a new title: president-elect. AFT President Randi Weingarten says the union’s leaders and members “can’t wait to get started” on the work ahead “with an administration that will embrace and fight for the values we hold dear.”
Your vote is your voice
AFT President Randi Weingarten’s latest column outlines the urgency of using our voices—our votes—in this life-changing election, when we will make a choice “between President Donald Trump, who has trafficked in chaos, fear, lies and division, and former Vice President Joe Biden, who seeks to reverse Trump’s failures on COVID-19 and the economy, and to unite and uplift the American people.” Besides the four crises we face—a pandemic, an economic crisis, racism and a climate emergency—democracy itself is on the ballot, as Trump continues to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election.
