Message from Matt Ostoyich, RC13 President

AFT will mail membership cards to all members.   Please see attached file for benefits of the new national AFT membership card.

Welcome to another exciting year of changing administrations (locally and nationally) and opportunities for the "pursuit of happiness" by exercising our political and collective bargaining powers.  It's an open field politically to elect new leadership for our government and for our local union.  Now is the time to get involved in the selection process to assure you have candidates worth voting for!

Proposition 92 - the California Community College Initiative - will lower college tuition fees to $15 per unit - ensuring that community colleges are affordable. It also limits the rise in future fees to the cost of living. It provides stable funding for California community colleges. In addition, it guarantees that the community college system is independent from state politics.
