Local 1904's Successful Day at Homecoming

The AFT Local 1904 supported Homecoming on Saturday, despite the inclement weather. Local volunteers  gave out over 12 cases of water as well as hundreds of AFT items including bags, pens, bully bands, and with the threat of rain, the ever popular ponchos.  Students, parents, children, and other attendees of homecoming grabbed their AFT swag while learning more about the BKMUW Scholarship opportunity for Montclair State University students. And to top off a great day, The Montclair State University football team was victorious on the field. Go Red Hawks!

A special thanks to the superb efforts of the Local's Outreach Coordinator Alex Sperling who organized a team of volunteers to help with the day. 

Join Our Solidarity Walk 9/30 12:30pm

In the current climate of contract negotiations (and working without a contract) it is time again to increase our visibility on campus to assert our value as public employees. Join the AFT Local 1904 members in a solidarity walk around campus. We will meet Wednesday, September 30th at 12:30pm in front of Cafe Diem. Wear your AFT blue shirt (we can provide one, if needed) and join us in a 20-minute walk around campus. It will increase your physical and mental health as well as communicate your support for collective bargaining.
