The local reformed in 1964 as the Cincinnati Teachers Union and changed its name to the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers (CFT) in 1971 and immediately began petitioning for a collective bargaining election. By 1976 the CFT won the election and remained the bargaining union for teachers of Cincinnati. In 1979 Tom Mooney became president and took the union on a new course of bargaining reform for all public employees in the city as well as taking the local into new areas of education reform and teacher professionalism. </p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/6039#comments American Federation of Teachers Collective Bargaining - Education - Ohio Education Reform Mooney, Tom Ohio Porter, Robert School Violence Shanker, Albert Student Discipline Teacher Certification Teacher-principal relationships Win-Win Collective Bargaining Tue, 19 Jan 2010 12:01:38 -0500 dgolodner 6039 at https://reuther.wayne.edu https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/2098 <p>The Ohio Federation of Teachers is a state affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers and represents primary and secondary school teachers, college and university professors, adjuncts, graduate and student workers, and support staff. The AFT established the Ohio State Federation of Teachers as their first experimental state federation in 1933, which was later officially chartered in 1938. Many locals did not affiliate with the state organization until 1968 when the AFT began to require them to do so. It was not until the 1970s that OFT locals gained collective bargaining rights. Throughout its history, OFT has used collective bargaining, strikes, lobbying and testimony on legislation, and other efforts meet its goals. The OFT and its local affiliates have developed ways to assist teachers and improve retention that have been models for other states, particularly the Toledo Plan, Career in Teaching, and Peer Assistance and Review programs. Other issues the OFT addresses are teacher health and retirement benefits, pay, tenure, curriculum, school budget problems, and charter schools</p> <p>Part I of this collection contains general office files, correspondence, and minutes as well as conference materials.
