Join the Million Member Mobilization -- Support the Employee Free Choice Act!
We're teaming up with hundreds of organizations and unions to launch a massive campaign -- the Million Member Mobilization.

Add your name to the petition supporting the Employee Free Choice Act, critical legislation that would restore workers' freedom to form unions; bargain for better wages, healthcare, and working conditions; and have a voice in our economy. Add your voice to this growing movement. Help us meet our goal of one million signatures!

We asked you what was on your mind, and many of you took some time to tell us. All in all, we think this summary does a good job of capturing local teacher concerns. A PDF of the summary is available.

Over a period of just seven weeks, from Jan. 14-March 3, a total of 26,419 people took the online 2008 Health Care for America Survey sponsored by the AFL-CIO and Working America. Most are insured and employed. Most are college graduates. More than half are union members.

More than 20,000 paraprofessionals and school-related personnel represented by the Oregon School Employees Association have voted to affiliate with the AFT, marking the largest affiliation of an independent union in AFT history.

The AFT has launched "t-source," a new online forum (http://www.t-source.org/) that will provide professional resources and communication opportunities with a special focus on teachers entering the profession.
