AFL-CIO / NEA Partnership

The National Education Association cares oh so much for our nation's children. The 2.8 million member Leftwing organization made a deal with the AFL-CIO which allows teachers to join the even-larger labor union.

Reg Weaver, head of the NEA, said, "the arrangement won't affect the union's national stance on education but could affect local affiliates' efforts at education reform." Oh well - the kids probably don't deserve it anyway...
