- As the school year begins and teachers prepare their classrooms, the right wing is on the attack, contacting educators and other public sector workers by email, urging them to drop union membership. Anti-union forces are also filing lawsuits to reclaim fair share fees and falsely claiming that dues deductions must end. The attacks, prompted by Janus v. AFSCME, are failing: AFT membership is growing. The AFT’s All In website shows how we can continue to reach new members, especially during this back-to-school season, and the AFT Solidarity hotline provides resources to combat the union bashers: 800-497-3571 or AFTSolidarityHotline@aft.org.
