Union Member Benefit Spotlight - Trauma Counseling
AFT Trauma Benefit. Members work hard—now more than ever—to educate, heal, help and serve our communities. Sometimes our own stress is compounded by a personal or workplace trauma; still, we struggle to be fully present for others.
LCFT members joined hundreds of educators, higher-education professionals, school staff, retirees, and public employees at the Illinois State Capitol, standing shoulder to shoulder with one clear message: our students, campuses, and communities deserve full funding.
WPSS President Linda Unda addressed the Waukegan District #60 Board of Education this week, calling on the district to accelerate contract negotiations as WPSS educators have now been working seven months without a contract.
