Tell that to the over 70% of teachers who are unionized...
"What percent of teachers are in a union?
Largest Teachers' Unions Research Summary
The largest teachers' union in the U.S. is the National Education Association, with 3 million members. There are 3.2 million full-time teachers and 130,930 K-12 schools across the U.S. At least 70% of U.S. teachers belong to a teachers' union.Apr 23, 2023"
And union membership is actually growing...
"The number of wage and salary workers belonging to unions, at 14.3 million in 2022, increased by 273,000, or 1.9 percent, from 2021."
But why let facts get in the way?
