The Bangor Daily News reports that the Maine Education Association, controlling most, if not all, state public school teachers’ wages and other working conditions, plays an influential role in local politics, particularly in supporting Democratic candidates and liberal initiatives.

The specifics of the anti-Israeli resolution concerning the state’s pension policies toward Israel have not been publicly detailed by the association at the time of the post.

However, this news story underscores the complex interplay between local union organizations and international affairs. Many teachers who work in classrooms may believe that these union officials are going way beyond classroom issues, and likely would prefer to decide these issues without the union speaking for them.
