The AFT LOCAL 1904 Office Has Moved!

The AFT Local 1904 Office has relocated to Dickson Hall 104

As of Monday October 2, 2017, the AFT Local 1904 Office has officially moved into Dickson Hall 103-104. The move was long anticipated, but in the end it was completed in one day.

The space is freshly painted and new rugs were installed in our suite. Dickson104 (the outer room) serves as the entrance/reception area and Dickson 103 will be our conference room and storage area.

We have a very nice view of the Quad area and are meeting our new neighbors.

We are waiting for signage to be installed in the main Dickson Hall hallway that will direct members to the office.  

Our thanks to Erin Murray who coordinated our move and was great to work with.

Please come in to say hello and see our new location!

Janus v. AFSCME: The Very Likely Detrimental Case Against American Public Sector Unions

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed today to take up a case that could deal a crippling blow to unions representing millions of the nation's public employees. The justices will decide whether state government workers who choose not to join a union must still pay a share of union dues (agency fees) to cover the cost of negotiating contracts. At stake is the future power and financial health of public sector unions in the 22 states where they have a duty to bargain for both members and nonmembers alike.

AFT Local 1904 Solidarity Walkers Meet Rocky the Redhawk Along the Way

Although there is now a statewide contract in place this year, members of the AFT Local 1904 continue to assert our solidarity as a union by participating in our weekly Solidarity Walks across campus, each Wednesday during the semester (starting at 12:30pm, leaving from Cafe Diem).

Last Wednesday, our group encountered Rocky the Redhawk, who was kind enough to pose with us for a group photo!

Organized labor continues to face numerous challenges, and remains under attack on various levels, throughout the nation. It remains important to continue our momentum as a Local, and to continue building our membership. Please join us for our Solidarity Walks, and/or remain active as a part of our bargaining unit in any other ways that your time and inclination allows.
