Fiercely determined. Strongly protective of public education.

After years of attacks on our teachers and our schools, the Louisiana Federation of Teachers brought the fight to reclaim the promise of public education to the Louisiana Legislature.

(Baton Rouge - July 18, 2014) The political feud between Gov. Bobby Jindal and Superintendent of Education John White must be resolved quickly so that teachers and their students can get down to the work of education, Louisiana Federation of Teachers President Steve Monaghan said today.

Twenty-two AFT-WV activists joined educators from across the country at the American Federation of Teachers TEACH conference in July to participate in cutting edge professional development and discuss challenges and solutions in education. Held in Washington, DC, the event focused on how teachers are creating, innovating and finding new ways to help kids succeed and encouraged teachers to seize opportunities to strengthen their profession.

Wed. July 9 at 5:30pm

All meetings will be in 221 Pray-Harrold and will last one hour.

Last year, the EMU administration told EMUFT that it would like to change the Lecturer B system for part-time lecturers. EMUFT members met and decided it was a topic worth exploring if a system for better job security could be implemented instead. A group of members has been researching other job security provisions in higher education union contracts across the country. They will present some options for a new system and open this up for conversation at the meetings on July 9 and 10.
