Education Intelligence Agency:

AFT Goes on Record in Opposition to War in Iraq. AFT delegates approved Resolution 31, which states, “that the American Federation of Teachers oppose the war in Iraq and call upon our country’s leaders to withdraw all troops, bases and military operations in a rapid and timely manner and to put a stop to the unending military presence that will waste lives and resources, undermine our nation’s security and weaken our military.” It also provides AFT support for AFL-CIO Resolution 53 on Iraq.
