“I was an active member of MTI for my entire career. Without the love and support of my union, there is no way I would have survived until retirement. The morning after that glorious last day of teaching, I signed up for MTI-Retired as a lifetime member. I am grateful to still be part of the red shirt brigade, fighting for public education, our staff, and our kids. Solidarity Matters!”
