Based on an initial review of the U.S. Department of Education's plan for reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, it appears that despite some promising rhetoric, this blueprint places 100 percent of the responsibility on teachers and gives them zero percent authority, AFT president Randi Weingarten says.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEW PARENTAL LEAVE BANK PROGRAM FOR CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES |
AFT-Oregon and the Oregon Education Association filed a civil lawsuit in Multnomah County against Bill Sizemore, Loren Parks and his organizations for racketeering, Thursday, October 29, 2009. The claim is that Sizemore and Parks have conspired to set up a sham charitable organization to cover up their political activities, in many ways similar to the activities that a 2002 Multnomah County jury found to be racketeering. |
Summary (What You Need To Know)
Although the AFT credit card is changing its terms, the AFT credit card still offers terms that are among the lowest in the credit industry. Now is a time of great flux in banking and credit financing. We urge AFT members to read and evaluate the AFT credit card change in terms (CIT), as well as CITs from other lenders, before deciding what is best. We hope you will review the CITs, consider your outstanding debts as well as family patterns of spending in deciding on the AFT or any other credit card. |
The new contract is now available. |
