EMU Federation of Teachers (AFT Local #9102) is announcing openings in our EMUFT LEAD Organizing Fellows Program. This fourteen week fellowship program is designed to develop fellows’ skills in organizing union members, as well as provide experience with designing and implementing union campaigns to achieve membership growth. Fellows will learn about the daily work of labor unions and will increase their own capacity to be active members and leaders in the labor community.

Colleagues,
