AFT Pass Throughs

During the 2024 convention, AFT Michigan and AFT National adopted a combined $2.00 increase in per caps. In accordance with our national bylaws, when “passing through” increases originate at the state and national levels, locals are obligated to incorporate the addition into their local dues structure to remain in good standing.

We are addressing this increase with this notification of members of the mandated adjustment, and have recorded the change in the union’s dues structure to ensure transparency and compliance. This dues change is effective September 9, 2025, the first pay day of the 2025-2026 school year. Payroll deductions of union dues will begin with the September 9th paycheck. There are 22 dues pull payments for the school year. For details of payroll deduction, please look at the letter of agreement, on the DFT website:  Payroll Deduction LOA 2024-2026: go to page 37.
