IMPLEMENTATION OF CONSTITUTIONAL MEMBERSHIP AND PER-CAPITA REQUIREMENTS

The AFT Executive Council directs the Secretary-Treasurer to take steps to implement the AFT Constitution requiring full per-capita payments on all members of each local at the appropriate rate. Such implementation shall be accomplished by entering into dues transmittal agreements between each local and the AFT which define the obligation of each local to transmit constitution stipulated per-capita payments to the AFT, the respective state federations.

• Organizational assistance

• Defense Fund grants

• Militancy Fund grants

• Participation in liability insurance and accident insurance programs

A progress report on the implementation of this directive shall be prepared for the Council from time to time.
