Your Right to Leave

You don't have to fund what you don't support.

The U.S. Supreme Court's 2018 ruling in Janus v. AFSCME guaranteed every Pennsylvania public employee the right to resign from their union and stop paying dues — without losing their job or any employment rights.

If your dues are going to luxury resorts, executive payrolls, and one-sided political campaigns instead of the representation you need, help is available. Talk to AFFT confidentially.
