AFT Resolution

IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL SECURITY

RESOLVED, that the American Federation of Teachers continues to work for legislation needed to improve the Social Security system; and

RESOLVED, that our officers and members constantly work for legislation to improve the Social Security system plus a 50 percent increase in benefits.

Please note that a newer resolution, or portion of a resolution, may have superseded an earlier resolution on the same subject.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