Teachers, Service Employees become first unions to back Trump impeachment probe
People's World ^ | September 26, 2019 | Mark Gruenberg

The Teachers (AFT) and the Service Employees have become the first unions to break organized labor’s long silence on starting an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump. They’re for it.

“All Americans—no matter where we are from or what color we are—can agree that our democracy is too important for any individual to be above the law, including the nation’s president,” union President Mary Kay Henry said on Sept. 25, a day after AFT President Randi Weingarten weighed in.

“Donald Trump has undermined the rule of law, threatened our national security, and held in contempt the very institutions on which our republic was built, most notably in his use of presidential power to pressure a foreign government to investigate a potential political opponent. He must be held accountable. No one is above the law,” Weingarten said.

But a spot check of unions shows none are willing to take the next step and actually call for impeaching Trump through a vote by the full U.S. House. Other progressive groups demand that.

And only SEIU’s Henry, so far, has cited Trump’s crimes against workers as a reason for investigation of impeachment, too—and she did so indirectly.

There is absolutely no reason government and education should be unionized.

You can tell who is corrupt by whether or not they back the “impeachment” farce. They identify themselves.

She clarified later that she meant “any individual” except Clinton, Obama, Holder, Brennan, Comey, Strozk, Page, . . .

But then again, wasn’t she and the union “With Her” in the last election???
