Dear AFT-Wisconsin members,
Please remember to vote in tomorrow's primary election (Tuesday, August 14)! This November's election will be crucial to the future of our state and the country alike, and with engagement at the highest level we've seen in years, AFT-Wisconsin members have a real chance to make progressive changes in our workplaces and communities alike. Polls will be open from 7am to 8pm. AFT-Wisconsin has not endorsed any candidate in the primary for Governor, but has voted to endorse the Democratic nominee.
More UFAS members running for political office in 2018-2019!
July 29, 2018 — Labor unions give workers a democratic voice in their workplaces and in government.
We are excited that so many United Faculty and Academic Staff (UFAS) members are running for political office. This is part of a nationwide trend among American Federation of Teachers members.
