Get involved with the United Teachers of New Orleans

The United Teachers of New Orleans (UTNO) brings educators together to fight for stronger public schools, better working conditions, and real accountability for school leadership.

For 89 years, we've stood up for New Orleans teachers, ensuring they have the support, protections, and collective power to shape the schools their students and communities deserve. And we plan to be here for the next 89 years too.

There's no union without "u"

You can plug into our current priorities with the events and actions on this page. We also invite you to stay up to date about our fight for stronger NOLA schools by following us on Facebook and Instagram.

Not a member of UTNO? You're officially invited.

Non-administrative employees at public, private, and parochial schools, as well as education-related private and nonprofit organizations in Orleans Parish. Teachers, paraprofessionals, bus drivers, & all other vital school personnel are welcome to join — so long as you don't have the power to hire and fire.
