Along with our union siblings, the AFT Massachusetts is committed to supporting the next generation of trade unionists to build a stronger tomorrow for all working families of the Commonwealth.

That’s why we award thousands of dollars in scholarships each year to eligible high school seniors who are dependents of AFT Massachusetts members. Scholarship awards are based on an applicant’s results on a labor history exam administered by the Massachusetts AFL-CIO and honor former AFT leaders Kathy Kelley, Albert Shanker, and Sandra Feldman, and long-time field representative Jay Porter.

The labor history exam focuses on teaching our children about the history of unions and about groups of people who fought for better wages and protections. 

President Yetman and the AFT Amesbury Executive Board welcomed new FY25 member teachers at the Teacher Induction Day. Pleased to meet and greet these enthusiastic new members! Each was given packets of information prepared by our Membership Coordinator Lauren Snay. The packets were full of information about why being part of a union is crucial and necessary. 99.9% of new teachers joined the union.

We will be growing our membership this year and look forward to negotiating a successor agreement to our current contract and invited all new members to participate in the process!
