Americans For Fair Treatment

The Taxpayer Dollars Protect Workers Act seeks to give public employees the same protections and freedom of choice. We encourage lawmakers in Oklahoma and across the country to support this commonsense approach, ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly and workers retain the right to decide how their earnings are used.   Read more:  americansforfairtreatment.org/2026/03/18/ame…

How are Chicago students doing while the public teachers union wastes MILLIONS on failed political candidates? ✅ The Illinois Assessment of Readiness, found that just 30.5% of Chicago Public Schools students met or exceeded expectations in English language arts. ✅ In math, that number drops below 20%. ✅ On the 2024 NAEP, only 21% of Chicago fourth graders were proficient in math and 23% in reading. ✅ Among eighth graders, just 21% were proficient in math and 27% in reading.

"Teachers deserve better than having their dues funneled into losing political campaigns. Parents deserve better than watching adults fight over power while their children fall further behind. And taxpayers deserve better than funding a system where politics consistently outranks performance." americansforfairtreatment.org/2026/03/19/ctu…

"Project labor agreement mandates restrict competition, reduce opportunities for many qualified contractors and workers, and risk driving up costs for taxpayers. Public construction projects should be open to all qualified businesses and workers, regardless of whether they operate under union or non-union models."  -- AFFT CEO @realchiprogers americansforfairtreatment.org/2026/03/16/sta…

This landmark legislation ensures that government workers are no longer compelled to fund union political activities with their hard-earned wages without consent. Read about it ⬇️ americansforfairtreatment.org/2026/03/18/ame…

On the 2024 Illinois Assessment of Readiness, just 30.5% of Chicago Public Schools students met or exceeded expectations in English language arts. In math, that number drops below 20%. On the 2024 NAEP, only 21% of Chicago fourth graders were proficient in math & 23% in reading. Among eighth graders, just 21% were proficient in math & 27% in reading.

In Tuesday’s 2026 primary elections, CTU-backed candidates again struggled, trailing in 7 of 13 contested races with nearly 90% of votes counted. **The more the union leans into politics, the less voters trust it. Chicago’s students don’t have time for this. The worst part is...

🧵The Chicago Teachers Union (@CTULocal1) keeps sending the same message to families: politics first, students second. Here's what we mean...

If that were a one-time miscalculation, it would be one thing. It wasn’t.

Roughly 75 cents of every dollar they spent went to losing candidates. More than $2.1 million was effectively burned on failed campaigns. One of their top recruits, Rev. Robert Jones, reportedly benefited from over $516k in union-backed support and still finished a distant third.

In Chicago’s 2024 school board elections, CTU and its affiliates poured MILLIONS into an aggressive effort to buy influence & they were decisively REJECTED.

Teachers can OPT OUT of the union and that is good news for teachers, parents and students! AFFT Senior Fellow @DeAngelisCorey shares why 👇 Learn more about opting out at AFFT.org

Now if only IL could join the ever growing list of states signing on. More $$ for students, not unions.
