This is the main UFT Navigation comprised of “Your Rights”, “Your Benefits” and “Your Union”. There’s a few things to be aware of:
- A link that is “Disabled” means the page itself is still published and available, but the navigation link is hidden. Anyone with the proper URL can view those pages.
- A link that is “Unpublished” means that the page itself has been unpublished and cannot be viewed except but users with the proper permission (like Admins) but it still exists within the site structure.
- The Member Assistance Program section under “Your Benefits” will be live soon and the old MAP section under “UFT Programs” will be removed.
