Teachers Deserve More: Vote UTMC April 14!

As  a teacher in Martin County, you show up every day with an unwavering  commitment to your students. You deserve a union that gives you that  same dedication.

Sadly, MCEA has failed to deliver that level  of representation, time and time again. For years, teachers in our  district have faced delayed contracts, rising insurance costs, and  raises that fail to keep pace with increasing financial pressures.

Enough is enough. That's  why we've formed the United Teachers of Martin County - a new union that  will treat teachers with the respect and dedication they deserve.

UTMC will charge less than half of  what MCEA charges for dues, while providing better liability insurance and a licensed attorney for contract negotiations and employee  representation. With UTMC, teachers can count on having a contract every year, before the school year starts.

In just a few days, you'll have the  opportunity to choose your representation and vote for the United  Teachers of Martin County in an election conducted by Florida's Public  Employee Relations Commission. Ballots will be mailed to you at home  starting April 14.

How to vote for United Teachers of Martin County:

1. Check your mailbox! Ballots will be mailed to you at home (or to your worksite if you are  exempt from public records) from Florida's Public Employees Relations  Commission starting on April 14.

2. Place an X in the box for United Teachers of Martin County and seal your ballot in the return envelope.

3. Print and sign your name on the return envelope only. Do not sign your actual ballot!

4. Place a USPS stamp on your envelope.

5. Drop the envelope in the mail as soon as possible!
