MARY KATHARINE HAM: Teachers union bosses put themselves first, teachers and students last

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : President Joe Biden shut down that data collection during his tenure, but the Washington Examiner "managed to get data from 2019... and according to a report by OPM, government union employees spent a total of 2,606,390 hours that year performing union tasks on government time at a cost of $163,327,235."
50% : That's right, these unions use the majority of the money they bring in (your money!) to pay for political activism, funding candidates and causes to the tune of hundreds of millions and even billions, and they do it on the clock.
44% : CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Reagan's move "unsettled those who cynically believed no President would ever uphold that law," Alan Greenspan later said, reflecting on the legacy of that fight, and it tamed some of the most aggressive tendencies of organized labor for years to come. Today's public employee union leaders cynically believe their priorities should override the priorities of their bosses, the American people.
42% : For the first time, they saw that union leaders weren't just working for their members, but actively against people like them, who simply wanted their kids in the schools they paid for. Teachers' unions are just one kind of many public employee unions that are literally negotiating against you.
