WHO WE ARE
FCFT is an affiliate of AFT — a national union representing 1.8 million education, healthcare, and public service workers — and is also an affiliate of the AFL-CIO. We are a member-driven organizing union representing all non-supervisory FCPS employees. FCFT members are teachers, counselors, librarians, instructional assistants, clerical employees, bus drivers, custodians, food service workers, and other staff who work hard to make our schools succeed. We are partnered with Fairfax Education Association (FEA) as the Fairfax Education Unions (FEU) - the exclusive representative and bargaining agent for all licensed instructional and operational FCPS employees.
JOIN YOUR UNION. DEFEND YOUR CONTRACT.
The Fairfax County Federation of Teachers (FCFT) was chartered in 1972. FCFT is a local affiliate of the 1.8 million-member AFT (American Federation of Teachers), itself part of the broader labor movement through the AFL-CIO. Our membership consists of teachers, counselors, teaching assistants, clerical employees, bus drivers, custodians, food service and other non-administrative staff who have joined together to provide a strong voice for educators and students in Fairfax County, the statehouse, and the national level.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS WORK. WE MAKE THE WORK HAPPEN.
FCFT IN ACTION
As FCFT members, we organize to make our schools better by putting pressure on FCPS and our elected officials, and lobbying local and state government for policies that directly impact educational workers and working families. FCFT members are fighting to strengthen workers' voices in the school system through measures like collective bargaining. FCFT supports pro-education, pro-worker candidates in local and state elections.
