On February 18, 1942, AFT Local #698 was chartered as the Macomb County Federation of Teachers. Over the past 79 years, our local has been a leader in the local area, the state, and the nation--including the first successful teachers' strike in the United States! Read more about our history.
We had a great celebration to mark the 50th Anniversary...
And the 75th...
Hopefully by this time next year we'll be able to mark the 80th anniversary of the chartering of AFT Local #698 with a gathering as the Eastpointe Federation of Educators!
Through triumphs, challenges, and name changes, one thing has remained--the dedication of our teachers and paraprofessionals to provide excellent education for our students.
