You don’t have the National Education Association (teacher’s union) where you are? I thought they were in all 50 states and probabaly the other 7 that only our president knows about.

They have an arm here- the NCAE. But it isn’t a union- no collective bargaining, etc., and nobody has to be a member. They mostly function as lobbyists at the state government level.

While the NEA is present in all states, in “Right to Work” states the unions are nothing more than associations with very little power in impacting decisions. The exceptions would be in urban area where large membership can impact local policy, but not state-wide.
