The AAUP’s recent affiliation with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) means that together, they now represent more US higher education workers than any other union. The affiliation also means that in addition to being an AAUP member, UCLA-FA members that choose to add AAUP membership are now AFT members as well, with access to a number of new resources and benefits, including counseling, traveling, educational, and insurance programs.

The AAUP will be hosting a webinar on October 18 at 4 pm ET/1 pm PT where staff from the AFT membership team will walk members through the benefit program. Register here.

AFT member cards are being sent out this fall to home addresses. If you do not have a home address on file, you’ll be asked to supply it in the coming weeks. If you have a question about your AFT membership, please email aftplus@aft.org.
