AFT 2016 100th Convention
Not many things live to be 100 years old. So when they do, we celebrate! Ninety-nine years ago, on May 9, 1916, the American Federation of Teachers was founded in Chicago, when eight local unions formed the AFT and were granted a charter signed by American Federation of Labor President Samuel Gompers. Leading up to the AFT national convention in 2016, we will spend the next year looking back on our rich history—our struggles, our accomplishments, our proudest moments—and celebrating how far we have come and what lies ahead - See more at: http://www.aft.org/100years#sthash.UWGwgNld.dpuf
