Political Action Contributions – MTI VOTERS
When you become an MTI member you are also enrolled in MTI VOTERS, MTI’s pollical action committee which supports state and local campaigns that impact public education, labor rights, and other legislation impacting our students and their families. The MTI VOTERS Committee interviews and recommends candidates for Madison School Board and other important state and local offices to the rank-and-file members of MTI VOTERS who then vote on the recommendations.
The MTI VOTERS Committee consists of the elected President of each MTI bargaining unit, the MTI Treasurer and nine (9) MTI members elected by the general membership. The Union’s political action contribution is 5% of the total dues amount.
Participation in MTI VOTERS is voluntary and not required as a condition of membership. Members may request a refund of their political action contributions, in writing, to the MTI Staff between September 1 and October 1 of the membership year, or within 60 days of joining.
