AFT Resolution

DEFENSE OF THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

WHEREAS, the Federal Trade Commission serves the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as consumers by requiring accurate labeling of products and itemization of bills, and forbidding production of dangerous products for interstate commerce; and

WHEREAS, the Federal Trade Commission has been under heavy attack from legislators of the far right who seek its total destruction:

RESOLVED, that the AFT call upon all AFT affiliates to support the FTC and urge locals and state federations to communicate with their respective members of Congress to that effect. (Executive Council)

(1982)

Please note that a newer resolution, or portion of a resolution, may have superseded an earlier resolution on the same subject. As a result, with the exception of resolutions adopted at our most recent AFT convention, resolutions do not necessarily reflect current AFT policies.
