The Value of Membership

Salary and Benefits
Simply put, educators deserve professional pay for professional work — and the members of NEA-Alaska are the premiere advocates fighting to ensure you receive a competitive wage. This also means stopping legislative cuts to your benefits such as health insurance and retirement.

Respect
From the local school board to the state legislature, elected officials are making decisions that impact your schools — join our union and be a part of the discussion. NEA-Alaska members form the strongest voice advocating for educators and students in Alaska. We’re fighting against the standardized test regime, raising the need for fair evaluations, and standing in solidarity to secure fair wages and benefits for every worker in our schools.

Networking
Being an educator can be stressful — but you’re not alone. NEA-Alaska members have a support system of thousands of educators and NEA-Alaska staff who live and work in your district. Whether you’re a new teacher who needs advice on a difficult classroom or a food service worker that’s pushing back against student lunch debt – our union members are here to provide support, experience, and their voices to your needs.
