Join AFT Local 1796For
the more than twenty five years of our existence, through the
Council of New Jersey State College Locals, we have been
affiliated with AFT Locals from the 9 state colleges and
universities (excluding Rutgers University) in the State of
New Jersey.
Our dues allow us to pursue contract negotiations,
processing of grievances and arbitrations, lobbying the
Legislature and Governor for improved budgets for higher
education, collaboration with labor affiliates and student
organizations, and drafting of proposed legislation for
employees and higher education in general.
As a new employee, you are automatically represented by
this Union and have the status as an "agency fee payer," but
you are not a member in our Union. This means that you
will receive all the rights, protections and benefits of a
Union, except the right to vote in our organization. The right
to vote is reserved for Union
members.
Union
members pay their dues, which is 1% of their yearly salary
bargained for by this Union. Agency fee payers pay 85% of the
1% of their salary. At $ 60,000.00, the difference per
pay period to be a member is $ 1.98.
We hope you will add your name and strength to our
organization by joining the Union. To join you must fill out a
membership card which you can obtain by contacting your
department’s representative or our administrative assistant
