CFT is hosting its “Back to School” event at LA Trade Tech on September 4th at 3 p.m. This is a chance to hear from your state and national leadership and have your voice heard. CFT President Jeff Freitas and AFT President Randi Weingarten will welcome faculty and staff back to school and discuss local and national priorities. As you may have heard, Randi Weingarten has recently been attacked by Vice President candidate J.D. Vance. Hear directly from the most powerful education labor leader in our country. Register today so we can make sure we have enough food (https://forms.gle/NrS9Bmw4QVFqX1DK8). AFT 1521 matters, and we are proud that our state and national leadership recognizes us.
