Teacher Union Dues Bankroll Far-Out Causes
“Since Janus, the actively employed membership of the nation’s largest teacher union, the [NEA], has fallen substantially."
It Must Be A Coincidence . .
The Los Angeles Times reports that two labor unions in California have spent a remarkable $318 million influencing public officials in the last decade. The Teacher Association spent $211.8 million and the California State Council of Service Employees spent $107.4 million. Of course, there are hundreds of other local unions that are engaged in similar activities so it is safe to say the union bosses spent more than a $1 billion in California alone.
In a separate article, Big Government notes that two-thirds of the jobs “saved or created” by the stimulus package are of the government union dues-paying variety.
