The Michigan Education Association (MEA) is the largest public employee union in Michigan, representing teachers, education support professionals, higher education faculty, and other school employees. Its mission is to advocate for quality public education, protect the rights and working conditions of its members, and promote equitable educational opportunities for all students in Michigan.
MEA typically pursues policies related to public education funding, educator compensation and benefits, collective bargaining rights, classroom safety, student equity, retirement security, and opposition to measures that would divert funding from traditional public schools.
