  • 2021 Voting Record
    The 2021 Legislative Session Montana's biennial legislative session is always a top MFPE priority because decisions made there profoundly affect members' pocketbooks and professions. The 67th session was unique due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and a single political party controlling both the legislative and executive branches, but MFPE members were undaunted. Nearly 3,000 MFPE members and staff joined the first-ever Rapid Response Team of member-lobbyists. They attended statewide virtual meetings throughout the session and sent tens of thousands of messages to legislators via texts, emails, and phone calls. These efforts were crucial in asserting MFPE's strength and reach. Because MFPE members engaged like never before, we successfully beat back five union-busting bills all directed at undermining the ability of Montana workers to belong to and participate in a union. Our collective efforts also secured several legislative victories including the quick and bipartisan approval of the state and university employee pay plan and funding for public education and services, state agencies, the Montana University System, and Community Colleges. Through the Rapid Response Team, MFPE members successfully advocated for bills to stabilize the Sheriff and Highway Patrol pensions and fought to defeat an assortment of bills that would have destroyed the Teachers’ and Public Employees’ Retirement Systems. MFPE members and staff mobilized to defeat a parade of bad ideas: a private charter school bill; private school vouchers to divert money from public schools to private schools; voter suppression; and bad tax policies that defund public services while giving tax breaks to the ultrawealthy. Despite our best efforts, some bills with harmful consequences for MFPE members became law.
