If you are a public sector employee looking to learn more about your union membership options, we are here for you.
Join AFFT to fight for the freedoms of all workers who feel underserved by unaccountable unions.
Many public employees are frustrated with how unions operate—from unaccountable political spending to values that don’t reflect their voices. If you’ve ever felt overlooked by your union or are ready for real union accountability, join us.
New Jersey educator Cassie Della Pesca once assumed union membership was simply part of being a teacher. After years of research, she chose a different path—and now she wants other educators to know they have a choice, too.
For years, Cassie was also a strong supporter of the teachers’ union.
But around 2018, Cassie started asking questions.
She looked more closely at the union’s priorities, how dues were being spent and the political causes the organization supported. What she found left her increasingly uncomfortable.
“It wasn’t one particular decision or moment,” Cassie said. “It was a culmination of factors over time.”
Her concerns centered on what she saw as a lack of financial transparency, a growing emphasis on political activism and an increasingly one-sided approach to political and social issues.
AFFT helps public-sector employees understand their rights and take confident next steps. Together with our members and supporters, we’re building a fairer system for workers across the country.
