Descriptiontext

United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) is the labor union representing more than 35,000 public school educators and retirees in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and affiliated charter schools. Founded in 1920, it is the nation's second-largest local teachers' union and is organized as a 501(c)(5) non-profit membership association governed by a House of Representatives, Board of Directors, and elected officers, with Cecily Myart-Cruz serving as President. The union's core function is collective bargaining on behalf of its members, and it has used labor action — most notably a 2019 strike that won first-ever enforceable class size caps and Special Education contract language, and a 2023 Solidarity Strike alongside SEIU 99 — to secure compensation increases and broader "common good" contract terms covering mental health support, technology access, and school climate. On April 27, 2026, UTLA members ratified the 2025-2027 agreement with 92% approval, with 26,745 members voting, continuing a pattern of multi-year contract cycles.

The union's operations are organized around a defined set of bargaining and policy issues (academic opportunity, equitable school funding, fully staffed schools, healthy green schools, technology access, safe school climate, targeted community support) and a recurring campaign cadence (Beyond Recovery 2021-2023, Win Our Future). It communicates with members and the public through the United Teacher magazine, the Six Point Four school-finance blog, social media channels, and a DocuSign-based online membership join workflow. Revenue is generated almost entirely from member dues, with no disclosed commercial products, technology platform, or external investment; the organization has no parent company, subsidiaries, or external ownership, and no API, SDK, or AI/ML capabilities are documented. Strategic activity is concentrated in contract negotiation, political endorsements (notably the 2026 endorsement cycle), and coalition building with other labor organizations.

YahooCalifornia superintendent candidate calls out teachers union after group leader calls her 'real threat'California superintendent candidate Sonja Shaw criticized the Los Angeles teachers union after a video showed a union leader calling her a 'real threat.' She cited LAUSD test scores, noting 53.5% of students failed English and 63.2% failed math. Shaw said she would not back down from the union's opposition.POLITICOLos Angeles schools brace for massive strike by teachers, principals and staffAround 70,000 teachers, principals, and support staff at Los Angeles Unified School District are set to strike next week after months of failed contract negotiations, which would halt classes for more than 500,000 students. Three labor unions—United Teachers Los Angeles, SEIU Local 99, and the Associated Administrators of Los Angeles—are demanding an average 17 percent raise over two years, while the district has countered with 8 percent; the strike would cost the district millions daily since funding is tied to daily attendance. The labor action comes as the district already faces turmoil following Superintendent Alberto Carvalho's placement on paid leave amid an FBI investigation, and marks the third strike at LAUSD in seven years.EdSourceLos Angeles teachers union to announce a strike date at rallyUnited Teachers Los Angeles and SEIU Local 99 will announce a strike date at a Wednesday rally outside City Hall. Both unions have authorized strikes by 94% and 97% respectively, and UTLA leadership will finalize dates if no agreement is reached.YahooL.A. teachers union supports blocking U.S. sale of about $20 billion in weaponry to IsraelThe United Teachers Los Angeles union voted to support a congressional effort to block over $20 billion in U.S. weaponry sales to Israel, citing civilian casualties. The resolution, introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders, would halt sales of specific armaments, including tank cartridges and F-15IA aircraft. The issue is expected to be taken up after the Senate reconvenes in November.YahooCecily Myart-Cruz: Spirited defender of teachersCecily Myart-Cruz, president of United Teachers Los Angeles, advocates for social-emotional learning, culturally relevant curriculum, and eliminating school police.
