AFT Progressive Caucus Stands with Local 1

AFT Progressive Caucus Standing Tall with

Chicago Teachers!

 The AFT Progressive Caucus stands tall with the Chicago Teachers Union in its fight for fairness and respect.

As AFT President Randi Weingarten stated “the Chicago teachers are fighting to make sure every student has what they need to succeed and that every teacher has good health benefits, job security and a fair evaluation system that uses standardized tests appropriately and in the best interest of students they serve.”

 The Progressive Caucus will stand in solidarity until a fair and just result is achieved for the members of the Chicago teachers, their students and their communities.
