> Her union is a far-Left organizing group with a heavy focus on race and diversity, equity and inclusion. <
I was an involuntary member of a teachers union for decades. Permit me to make two points.
1. The above quote comes as no surprise. It describes many teacher unions, including mine.
2. Teacher union elections are unbelievably biased and unfair. That’s the way the original bylaws were written. And it’s just the way the union bosses want it.
My union was made up of all kinds of people, MAGA conservatives to Bernie Sanders progressives. It mirrored the community at large. But only far-left candidates got elected to union offices.
And for state and national offices there are no elections! Those folks are appointed at conventions.
It’s a sad irony. Unions preach democracy. But in practice they are extremely undemocratic.
Interesting - thanks for sharing.
