California teachers' unions

California teachers' unions are organizations that represent educators in negotiations with school districts over wages, benefits, working conditions, and job security. They advocate for teachers' rights and often play a role in shaping education policy. The two main unions are the California Teachers Association (CTA) and the California Federation of Teachers (CFT). These unions also support professional development and promote public education initiatives. By uniting educators, they aim to enhance teaching quality and ensure fair treatment of teachers within the state's educational system.
