A Message from AFT re: Virtual solidarity

Dear PFTCE Friends,As workers’ rights and voice are being challenged nationwide, we must take immediate action. We’ve seen this firsthand in Wisconsin-and now in Ohio, Indiana and many other states.

We are pushing forward on all fronts to get our messages out efficiently, effectively-and digitally. Call it virtual solidarity, if you will.
