CTA is the state's largest representative of education employees. It exists primarily to protect and advance the professional and economic interests of its members. CTA works for better working conditions, higher salaries, improved health benefits, progressive personnel policies and an affordable and dignified retirement.

 

 

CTA believes that the nation's ability to lead the world toward liberty and democracy depends on the continuance of our outstanding system of public education (Kindergarten to Graduate School) available to all citizens.

 

CTA represents more than 335,000 employees of California schools, colleges and universities. The continued membership and support of those we represent helps us to articulate a broad range of individual concerns and gives us the clout to deal with those who influence public policy.
