Incomplete sets of newsletters of the State University Federation of Teachers (S.U.F.T. News) and the Senate Professional Association (SPA Bulletin, SPA Spokesman, and For Your Information).

For Your Information was a newsletter for SPA (and later SUNY/United) leadership and similarly covered a broad variety of subjects, including negotiations, improper practice filings, upcoming Delegate Assemblies, and the election of chapter and statewide leaders.
