AFT Northeast Regional Leadership comes to Newark
The American Federation of Teachers held their Northeast Regional Meeting at the Hilton Newark on February 10 and 11. NTU President John M Abeigon was a speaker along with State Fed President Donna Chiera and AFT President Randi Weingarten.
Among the topics discussed were union building and obstacles to organizing. It was an informative conference that we believe will help make the NTU and AFT stronger.

City Union of Baltimore (CUB) President Antoinette Ryan-Johnson went to Annapolis to testify on behalf of her members and the employees of Baltimore City in support of a bill that would provide property tax credits to city employees who are among the lowest 25% earners.
