Statement by LFT President Steve Monaghan

The AAUP and AFT-Wisconsin stand together in condemning the attacks on higher education that the Wisconsin Legislature included in its biennial budget, which Governor Walker signed into law last Monday.

Dear Colleagues, As reported in our last negotiations update, N-MFT's bargaining team rejected what the District presented to us as their Last, Best, and Final offer on June 16, 2015. Since then, N-MFT leadership has addressed the School Board twice regarding our concerns with the District's Last, Best, and Final offer.
