"Formerly called the Wisconsin Federation of Teachers, AFT-Wisconsin is a Wisconsin chapter of the American Federation of Teachers. Started primarily as a teachers' union in 1931, AFT-Wisconsin today is comprised of many diverse professionals with over 500 job classifications. Our Vision: We are a courageous union whose members collectively forge a future in which working people build just and democratic workplaces and communities. AFT-Wisconsin is your union. We are a union of professionals working in the University of Wisconsin System, the Wisconsin Technical College System, public schools, and state agencies. Through collective action in our workplace and communities, we help ensure affordable and high-quality public education and services. We create democratic workplaces where workers who know the jobs best have a say in how the institution is run. We fight for fair compensation and working conditions. In solidarity with workers across the country and the world, we fight for a just and equitable society for all."
