AFT Resolution

RETIRED TEACHERS

WHEREAS, AFT members, especially those teaching in large urban centers, are retiring in greater numbers than ever before; and

WHEREAS, it is important that all possible efforts be made both by the national office and by AFT affiliates to induce these retirees to remain as members; and

WHEREAS, retired teachers have no bargaining unit:

RESOLVED, that the Executive Council appoint an ad hoc task force to prepare a coordinated organization campaign and to suggest a program of activities-legislative, educational, political, cultural-to attract retirees to membership; and

RESOLVED, that such task force be set up early during the 1977-78 school year; and

RESOLVED, that this task force consider that the AFT use its national structure to foster the formation of local and state retirement committees and chapters. (Executive Council)

(1977)

Please note that a newer resolution, or portion of a resolution, may have superseded an earlier resolution on the same subject.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