AFT Resolution

LABOR UNITY

WHEREAS, the basic strength of labor lies in its unity; and

WHEREAS, the divisions that beset the labor movement can only bring joy to the enemies of democracy and progress in our country:

RESOLVED, that this Convention call upon the AFT Executive Council to seek out avenues of communication among all bona fide labor unions including those not now in the AFL-CIO for the purpose of finding ways to close ranks and finally create a united labor movement in the United States.

(1968)

Please note that a newer resolution, or portion of a resolution, may have superseded an earlier resolution on the same subject.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.
