Houston educators voted overwhelmingly to make the Houston Federation of Teachers and the Houston Educational Support Personnel their exclusive representatives in formal consultation with school administrators on workplace policies and other matters.
More than 93 percent of teachers and in-school support staff in the Houston Independent School District voted for the HFT, and just over 80 percent of support personnel (bus drivers and attendants, custodians and food-service staff) supported HESP. The two unions are AFT affiliates.
