Pillow Talk
Interesting video here from the Labor Notes convention that took place in Detroit last weekend. Washington Teachers Union Vice President Nathan A. Saunders has a few harsh words for… well, just about everyone, but American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten gets special attention.
“Quite frankly, from where I stand, there is a tremendous disconnect between the worker providing the education service at the classroom level and the national policy as advocated by our national leaders,” Saunders said.
Referring to the proposed DC teachers’ contract, which contains funding from private foundations, Saunders wondered (near the end of the video), “How in the hell did our union president, Randi Weingarten, get in bed with the Walton Foundation?”
