APEAAFT

APEA/AFT is a democratic public employees organization based in Juneau, Alaska. It is a small organization with three employees and generates approximately $0.5 million in annual revenue. APEA/AFT advocates for the interests and rights of its public employee members, who are divided into 22 chapters and 5 locals across Alaska. These chapters and locals elect officers and committees responsible for local affairs. APEA/AFT's membership structure ensures that policies and priorities are established through member participation, including elected representatives, direct votes, and statewide officers. A paid staff, led by a Business Manager, implements policies, lobbies legislators, and ensures contract terms are fulfilled. APEA/AFT's efforts have resulted in significant legislative achievements, such as the 1980 Social Security Opt-Out and the 1979 legislation converting temporary employees to permanent seasonal status.
