Teacher Union Power – Big Apple Style

The United Federation of Teachers has bullied their way to the top of the political mountain in the Big Apple. Aaron Short has the story in the New York Post.

There is one clear winner as school spending costs rise each year: the United Federation of Teachers.

No group in the city has amassed more political clout than the teachers union, which has scored a new contract for its members, helped block charter schools from expanding, pushed for the renewal of mayoral control of city schools, and ensured the city education budget continues to soar.
