Organized in 1938, Local 571 currently is a 5900+ member union of teachers and paraprofessional and school-related personnel (PSRPs), custodians, and retirees.

Cicero Council is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers. The AFT is a union of professionals that champions fairness; democracy; economic opportunity; and high-quality public education, healthcare and public services for our students, their families and our communities. We are committed to advancing these principles through community engagement, organizing, collective bargaining and political activism, and especially through the work our members do.
