Reminder to take the MTA ESP Survey
This is an anonymous survey that the MTA developed with Rutgers University to get a better sense of your work, your union and your life as an Education Support Professional. The survey is conducted through the MTA’s online survey program, which collects responses without compromising members’ identity. Your answers will be used to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the MTA’s ESP program and guide us in developing future bargaining and legislative priorities.
The survey will take 10 minutes to complete. Please make a point of taking the entire survey, and ask your ESP colleagues to do so as well. Your answers will influence how the MTA advocates for ESPs, who are some of our lowest-paid members, for years to come.

We will let you know once the date is confirmed. It is important to act TODAY to urge your representative to vote for the bill as approved by the Senate. The bill increases state education funding for local schools by $1.5 billion a year when phased in.
