Welcome to the AFT Michigan Retiree Network

Mary Ellen Riordan

We are sad to announce the passing of Mary Ellen Riordan on Sunday, January 24. Mary Ellen who served for years as the president of the Detroit Federation of Teachers as well as a Vice-President of the AFT, was an outspoken and dedicated teacher unionist who was respected by all of us who had the privilege of working with her. She had been living in a retirement community in Dearborn and was still active in the effort to protect the benefits of retirees. We will post arrangements as soon as they are available.

The AFTMI Retiree Committee, in cooperation with the AFT and local Federations, is attempting to creat a statewide network of retired members. This website is part of that effort.
We want to make your retirement more successful and worry free by continuing to provide you with information, resouces, valuable benefits and programs, and updates on legislative and plitical issues which affect you as retirees, as well, as a means for you to express your concerns and problems.

This website provides you with a direct link to the Retiement Planning system through the Michigan Public Schools Retirement System (MPSERS). In addition the website also provides LEGISLATIVE Information and Updates, direct links to those companies that provide RETIREE BENEFITS. LINKS to other retiree related organizations are also available
