WHAT THEY SAY (the Union), WHAT IS TRUE

Only the Union Offers Support in Disciplinary Matters

KEYTA members have access to a team of licensed attorneys and experienced executive staff across the Commonwealth who have supported hundreds of members in disciplinary proceedings. In addition, we collaborate with a separate legal team that provides no-cost support to members when their due process rights are compromised by union actions.

My Pension Will Be Impacted If I am Not a Union Member.

PSEA (Pennsylvania State Education Association) and PSERS (Pennsylvania School Employee Retirement System) are not connected. Your membership or nonmembership in the union has NO impact on your pension. Your pension is tied to your employment with your school or school district.

KEYTA Supports Union-Busting

KEYTA is not interested in busting any union within a school district. That is also illegal. We exist simply to provide school staff with an alternative association where they can receive benefits, services, and support after they can no longer continue to support their union due to high dues, political stances and endorsements, and sometimes unprofessional and self-serving local union representatives.

KEYTA Is An Affiliate Of The American Association of Educators (AAE)

KEYTA is NOT an affiliate, or associated with AAE, headquartered in Mission Viejo, California. Since KEYTA as no connections with AAE, we are also not supported by any national conservative or anti-union organizations that the union claims support AAE.

KEYTA Is Just An Insurance Agent.

KEYTA is not an insurance agent or company but was formed by Pennsylvania teachers for Pennsylvania teachers. KEYTA is not and has never been associated with an insurance executive who wanted to make money selling liability insurance to educators. KEYTA was established in 1993 by a handful of teachers in a high school art room that could no longer support the political endorsements of the teacher’s union.

KEYTA Offers Educators Liability Insurance But Nothing Else

Educator liability insurance is just one of the many ways KEYTA supports our membership. Members also get support in disciplinary matters, email updates when laws change, surveys so that we can speak and lobby for our members not in place of them, webinars, local gatherings, conferences, professional development opportunities, private legal services discounts, and effective August 2022, additional health benefits and a member perks program.
