As you know, the Douglas County Federation has created a retiree chapter for our local union. As a member of the Douglas County Federation of Retirees (DCFR), you would:

  • Represent the interests of retirees;
  • Enrich the lives of members by staying involved in the Union;
  • Be entitled to AFT membership benefits (including the $1M job-related liability insurance coverage);
  • Strengthen the local's, state and labor movement's political influence; and
  • Shape and enhance the quality of life in the community.

The retiree chapter will organize retirees for various activities and coordinate them with the efforts of the working members. Examples:

  • Community Projects - booths at fairs, student/school events, daytime meetings
  • Political Action - letter writing for local, state and national issues; lobbying for retiree issues, etc.
  • Informative workshops - PERA, housing options
  • Organizing Drives - distribute leaflets, speak to workers, seniors and community groups
