AFT’s Jessica Smith explains our partnership with Cornell University on our collective bargaining training to help our newest officers in Lake County prepare. #IAmAFT @IFTAFT
.@rweingarten: It’s wonderful to see you all in person, and it’s great that this year people have come together to turn the page & organize. #IamAFT @IFTAFT
.@rweingarten: At the end of the day, the locals that are the most effective understand the organizing strategy of agency of membership. The strength and power of the local comes from the engagement and activism of the membership. #IamAFT @IFTAFT
.@rweingarten: A contract is not self-effectuating. It is up to you. @iftaft
.@rweingarten: We don’t have a magic wand. We have to make sure that members buy in, that they share our values. That’s who we are. @iftaft
Congratulations to our newest officers of Lake County Federation of Teachers! We’re excited to get to work fighting for the schools our students deserve. #IamAFT @IFTAFT @rweingarten @AFTEVPDeJesus @fedingram
Great advice from @fedingram: You have to build trust with the union and with the community, and that takes time and hard work. #IamAFT
