AFT Resolution

ADULT EDUCATION PARITY

WHEREAS, a longstanding, basic tenet of organized labor is equal pay for equal work; and

WHEREAS, most school districts require teacher certification for adult education programs; and

WHEREAS, adult education teachers are required to actively recruit their students to generate state aid monies for the school district's general fund; and

WHEREAS, great disparity exists between pay and benefits of the adult education teachers and the K-12 teachers of most school districts:

RESOLVED, that the AFT at all levels, national, state and local, vigorously supports parity pay and benefits between adult education teachers and K-12 teachers.

Please note that a newer resolution, or portion of a resolution, may have superseded an earlier resolution on the same subject.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