Strong unions help to create strong schools for students and even stronger communities that benefit all of us. This, we know.
For generations, unions have been the best path to the middle class for working people, especially people of color and women. But in this rigged economy, unions are under attack, and those attacks are coming not just from the White House and Capitol Hill. They’re happening at the ballot box and at the Supreme Court with cases like Janus.
Today, the National Education Association and the American Association of University Professors submitted an amicus brief today with the Supreme Court in the case of Janus v. AFSCME

Well for what it is worth, it did not fare well in Mexico to have a STRONG union running the Education Dept. That Secretary is today in prison. Teachers became activist to shut down highways and schools and cared very poorly for the quality eduction of students. Their ROLE model is pathetic. Time to toss out the NEA.
Lily is a liar.

BS, the NEA's chief reason for existence is NOT to educate children, it's to make sure the NEA bureaucrats are well paid and that incompetent teachers cannot be terminated.
They could care less about the kids.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Outlaw collective bargaining in the public sector . The taxpayers are not represented.
Lily lies a lot,good she’s just the President of the largest Union and not a teacher;)

The NEA is a hate group.
my not really paid teachers who were nuns did a better job than almost all teachers today...
it probably could be proven that the old timey teachers...the ones before the trivial "education" degrees were required...brought the educational level of all their students up substantially in every single way....
they literally helped lead to the greatest expanse of scientific and literary and economic and industrial output in the world in the late 1800's and on...
not so much anymore...
infact it can be said that our intellectual standards have fallen demonstratively since the NEA and their crew of teacher bots have taken over...
ABSOLUTELY! exactly who are they bargaining against? We the People.
Rigged economy? The one in which taxes have been lowered and companies are VOLUNTARILY awarding bonuses and raises?
“Strong unions help to create strong schools for students and even stronger communities that benefit all of us. This, we know.”
If so then why isn’t the public school system a disaster?
My teachers made sure I learned something,they didn’t give a damn about unions.
What the heck, is a “rigged economy”?
Hmm.. It is a disaster!
Hmmmm. Spell check turned it into “isn’t”. It’s a conspiracy!
... Usually is!
I could not agree more, raised and educated in small-town USA.
Collective bargaining had its start with the Wagner Act of 1935, later amended by Taft-Hartley in 1947. With a booming economy about to really take off, it is a job market for excellent workers. They do not need Unions.
