Delegates from AFT-West Virginia attended the 2014 AFT Convention, held July 11-14 in Los Angeles, CA. Locals from Hampshire, Morgan and Roane counties were recognized for outstanding membership growth and a general session at the convention focused on the progress and projects of Reconnecting McDowell.

Retirees and activists from AFT-WV joined with other retired public employees for a rally at the Capitol on April 15, 2014. The Coalition of Retired Public Employees (CORPE) staged a rally to garner support for a tax exemption for a portion of a retired public employee's  pension. A similar measure for retired police and firemen is already in place in the state.
