JOIN US IN PROTECTING FACULTY RIGHTS;
IMPROVING SALARIES AND BENEFITS

The American Federation of Teachers has 1.3 million members (growing by 34,000 in 2005) and represents 150,000 faculty in higher education. For over thirty years the AFT has been the de facto faculty union for employee grievances on Idaho’s campuses. Our goal has always been to solve these problems without going to court, but when internal solutions have not been possible, our attorneys have been successful in 9 out of 11 major cases for a total of over $2 million in settlements and legal fees.
