A Message From The President of AFTPA:
At AFT Pennsylvania, we believe that we are strongest when we are united. AFTPA has the privilege of representing 64 locals and more than 36,000 members across the state, including educators and school-related personnel, higher education faculty and staff, and state employees. As the President of this storied organization, I recognize that our work has never been more important, and now more than ever, we must come together to ensure that our public schools are fully funded, educators have the resources they need, our rights to bargain are protected, and our democracy is safeguarded for generations to come.
That’s why our AFTPA staff and Executive Leadership are committed to securing the strongest Collective Bargaining Agreements for our locals, uplifting the incredible work our members are doing across the state, providing resources and support for members, and collaborating with union allies like the AFL-CIO – the AFT, of course! – and more, to build a stronger and broader labor movement that fights for all workers.
We’re in this fight with you and for you.
In solidarity,
Wendy G. Coleman
President
AFT Pennsylvania
