American Federation of Teachers Target Funds Teachers’ Retirement – Wall Street Journal

Randi Weingarten calls for a boycott of a company in which its members own millions of shares. Research highlighted by Northwestern University’s Kellogg School found that targeted companies’ share prices fell nearly 1% for each day a boycott received national print-media attention. The financial effects can extend well beyond the boycott itself.

Randi just knows that the public taxpayer would have to come up with any bailouts for her membership. It is a democrat party slush fund. Both of the 2 largest teacher’s unions lean communist. Read any available in-depth information on their annual get togethers that spell out their organizational aims. DEI, illegal immigration, trans-gender advocating, etc etc. Both unions should be decertified.

So brutish Randi would have the company her union is invested in lose value? She never came across as particularly bright for a person supposedly representing educators with a touch of Tony Soprano thrown in when she lost her temper and began slamming her fist into her palm.

Maybe Randi needs the earnest explanation that unions exist solely to bargain for teachers in their contract negotiations. I seem to recall somebody making that point just a few days ago.

Randi seems to have a different idea of her role as leader of a teachers union.

Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
