Attention all Floridians! Have you heard of the Personalized Education Program (PEP)? No, it's not a new workout routine or a fancy diet plan. It's a voucher program that lets homeschooling parents use taxpayer-funded vouchers to buy whatever they want, from theme park tickets to big-screen TVs. Because nothing says "education" like a day at Disney World or binge-watching Netflix. But wait, ther
TEACHER SHORTAGE AND HEAT WAVE TWO KIDS IN EVERY POT Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, a late-season heat wave descended upon the Midwest and northeastern United States.

UNIONS: THE ULTIMATE WINGMAN FOR A FAIRER SOCIETY! David Hecker, former President of AFT Michigan, has a message for unions: be more than just a safety net for workers. In a recent article for the Detroit Free Press, Hecker argues that unions must have a "transformational vision" for how they engage with their members and the public. But what does that mean? And more importantly, how can unions m
This message was sent as an email to AFT members and allies . This Labor Day, Americans are giving unions a thumbs-up. It’s not just the hot labor summer, it’s the union advantage — workers who join together in unions have higher pay, better benefits, safer workplaces and more voice on the job than nonunion workers. Those effects are life-changing for workers and their families, but as we know,

California's SB 596, also known as the STFU & End the Threats and Violence Moms for Liberty legislation, is here to save the day.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has done it again! He's out-stupided Trump and the other Trump wannabes by approving school voucher bonus bucks for Disney tickets, kayaks, and big-screen TVs.
