Simply put, educators deserve professional pay for professional work — and the members of NCAE are the premier 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. NCAE members form the strongest voice advocating for educators and students across North Carolina. 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.

I support NCAE because our students and educators need a strong cohesive voice to create sustainable change. The union work we do also creates a better life for all of us. Together WE make things happen!”
I believe that educators are agents of social change who shape the minds, hearts, and actions of student-citizens. As educators, we need NCAE as a communal source of support and encouragement.”
The key to getting all students what they need is getting the adults to organize. I feel empowered and supported as an NCAE member.”
