Democrats (Accidentally) Make the Case Against Teachers’ Unions
16th June 2020
In the wake of George Floyd’s death and the subsequent protests/riots calling for “defunding the police,” Democrats have started targeting police unions, saying they are obstacles to accountability and reform. Do they realize that the same can be said of teachers’ unions?
If they do, they aren’t saying.
Like any other public-employee union, teachers’ and police unions are locked in a one-hand-washes-the-other relationship with the Democrat party, where they trade their block of votes for extra-sweet levels of wages and benefits, especially unfunded pension benefits that can be forward-loaded onto future generations.
