Education Minnesota works to promote, advance, and protect public education, the education profession, and the rights and interests of our members.
Simply put, educators deserve professional pay for professional work — and the members of Education Minnesota are the premiere advocates fighting to ensure you’re paid what you’re worth. This also means stopping legislative cuts to your benefits such as health insurance and retirement.
From the local school board to the state legislature, elected officials are making decisions that impact your schools — join our union and be a part of the discussion. Education Minnesota members form the strongest voice advocating for educators and students in Minnesota. We’re fighting against the standardized test regime, raising the need for fair evaluations, and standing in solidarity to secure fair wages for every worker in our schools.
Being an educator can be stressful — but you’re not alone. Education Minnesota members have a support system of thousands of educators and Education Minnesota staff who live and work in your district. Whether you’re a new teacher who needs advice on a difficult classroom or a food service worker that’s pushing back against student lunch debt – our union members are here to provide support, experience, and their voices to your needs.

Members can take advantage of deep discounts on vacations, movie tickets, life insurance, cars and more.
I think it’s really important to support our union, because they’re the ones fighting for fair wages. They’re the ones to protect our time off. In other states that don’t have the ability to unionize in that way, there’s data that shows that they’re not getting paid as they should, or anywhere close to it.”
The power of the union for me, when I was speaking at the Capitol, we got to not only use our voice as ESPs, but as people of color. And actually, at the same time, we got to give voice to the children. Even though the union is for the adults, for the teachers and educators, we’re here for the kids.”
I’m so excited to be a part of doing good things for the sake of our teachers, so we can do good things for our students. That’s the whole point and I think the union helps us as teachers do that.”
No other professional organization does more for educators across Minnesota. With your support, we can protect our profession today, and for our next generation of educators.
