A STRONG UNION gives professionals a voice in the workplace and the power to improve their compensation, working conditions, professional growth and the quality of the services they provide.

The key to building a strong union is strong member activism. Join us in our efforts to strengthen the union by participating in one or more of the actions below.

Count Me In

• Volunteer for Count Me In activities in your state and local affiliate.
• Tell your colleagues about the AFT's Count Me In campaign.
• Watch a video of AFT president Edward J. McElroy discussing the Count Me In campaign.
• Watch a video starring your fellow union members about why they are volunteering with the union.
• Become an AFT e-Activist and send letters to your elected officials.
• Send a letter your representatives about No Child Left Behind.
