Our union is you!

As a democratic union, AFT 1493’s strength lies in all our members. We depend on you to let us know how your department could be a better workplace. And we rely on you to take action with your colleagues to secure the working conditions we all deserve.

What would make SMCCCD a workplace where you can truly thrive, where your job feels sustainable and fulfilling? Better pay? Stronger benefits? More job stability? More equitable working conditions? We can win all this and more by working together! By joining the 90% of your colleagues who are AFT 1493 members, you increase the power we have when we go to the bargaining table to negotiate with District administration. With strong membership numbers and member engagement, we can secure and enforce a contract that makes our District a better place for us to work—and for our students to learn.

Strengthen our collective power to build better workplaces and give yourself a voice in decisions that affect you by joining our union today.

In addition to building our collective power, becoming a union member gives you a number of benefits, including:

• Student debt counseling through AFT’s online Summer tool, including support to apply for Public Service Loan Forgiveness
• Free trauma counseling, including for secondary trauma (distress caused by hearing about traumatic events that happened to another person)
• Unemployment insurance clinics for adjuncts (yes, you are eligible to receive unemployment when the District is not in session)
• Discounts at Dell, Office Depot/Office Max, Southwest Airlines, and more
