Welcome to AFT Michigan
We have a state budget that is bad enough, and on top of that Public Education is not fully funded. Most school districts are looking at cuts of around $292 per student. Districts receiving 20(j) funds are facing even deeper cuts. Higher Education is looking at cuts of 4% plus cuts to student financial aid. |
Fully Fund EducationYour Health Benefits are in JeopardyHouse Speaker Andy Dillon has introduced H.B. 5345 that would put all active and retired public employees - including all K-12, higher education and municipal employees - into a state designed health insurance plan. The proposal takes away our collective bargaining rights, will probably lower our benefits in order to meet the savings being claimed, and creates a new Lansing bureaucracy. Please contact your legislators today asking them to oppose H.B.5345.Contact your legislator >> Download Health Care Flyers: |
