The Early Educators Association of Michigan/AFT (TEEAM/AFT) is a non-traditional organizing initiative to assist and unify early educators to become a voice advocating for livable wages, benefits, fair subsidy rates, and to develop a legislative and policy strategy to achieve those goals.  TEEAM is an associate membership program of the AFT; members pay $25.00 a year. 

One of the benefits of joining TEEAM is free Professional Development workshops which not only enhance your skills working with young children, but also help to satisfy the state mandate that early childhood workers complete 12-14 hours of training a year.

If you are an early childhood teacher, director, or other staff person interested in joining TEEAM/AFT, or are interested in any upcoming professional development workshops please call Gail Spencer at 313-401-2583. 

We've just received our new GTAC t-shirts, and they look great!  New members will receive a free t-shirt along with your new-member packet when you join!

Weingarten Rights are the rights of a worker to union representation when being questioned by management on a matter that could result in disciplinary action.  The workers must ask for such representation; the employer is not required to tell the worker of his/her rights.  The term derives from a 1975 U.S. Supreme Court decision. 

BUT YOU, AS THE EMPLOYEE, NEED TO INVOKE YOUR RIGHTS, I.E., YOU MUST INFORM YOUR SUPERVISOR THAT YOU NEED YOUR UNION REPRESENTATIVE TO BE PRESENT.

PLEASE NOTE, the Federal Government acknowledges that unions are needed by workers.
