AFT Resolution
MEDIA IDENTIFICATION OF AFT LOCALS
WHEREAS, teacher and health care action (strikes, elections, etc.) is constantly in the news; and
WHEREAS, the media uses the term "union" without differentiating between AFT and NEA, or AFT/FNHP and ANA; and
WHEREAS, the Colorado Federation of Teachers believes that an important difference exists and should be acknowledged:
RESOLVED, that the American Federation of Teachers take whatever measures are appropriate to educate the media and public concerning said differences; and
RESOLVED, that the American Federation of Teachers initiate a serious media campaign calling for appropriate identification of AFT action.
