AFT-Oregon is proud to host its 2025 Convention at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center on May 9-11, 2025.

Two recently retired local union presidents were honored by the Northwest Oregon Labor Council at its 24th Annual Labor Appreciation Dinner. 

Members and supporters of Oregon Coast United Employees, AFT Local 6020 gather at a rally before a board meeting of the Oregon Coast Community College. This is the second consecutive contract negotiation that has ended up in mediation, and members let the board know that they are tired of the endless delays. 

AFT-Oregon leaders stand in solidarity with those who are exercising their fundamental rights to protest injustice, hold institutions accountable, and exercise academic freedom. We stand in opposition to police repression and the suspension, expulsion, or retaliation of our union members and the students we serve at Oregon’s colleges and universities, such as at PSU and UO where demonstrations are ongoing.

The AFT-Oregon Executive Council (EC) currently has vacancies for Vice-President of Graduate Employee Affairs, Vice-President of Training and Education and one Vice-President at Large position in accordance with our Constitution.  EC members act as liaisons to locals; attend EC meetings as voting officers; and work within our federation to accomplish our goals.
