Past American Federation of Teachers Union President on School Children
Mark Mix just sent me an e-mail in which he noted that the late American Federation of Teachers union president Al Shanker once said:
"When school children start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of school children."
As I have often said, children need professional educators, not blue-collar labor unionists. Shanker also once said that many of his union members were not competent teachers. He was right about that.
