Here in Lake County, FL, the School District has two unions: The LCEA and the SEIU.
One of their national affiliates, the SEIU, funded a Wisconsin group preaching hate against police, and the other union, the LCEA parent organization of AFT did not.
The teacher's LCEA Union is pretty moderate in this right to work state, and works with the School District Administration and is focused on the kids. They are affiliated with the national AFT (American Federation of Teachers) , NOT the NEA (National Assoc. of Teachers) which always seems to be more radical.
HOWEVER, the video says this same group, Wisconsin Now, received $700,000 from the SEIU national union, which is the union for non-teachers in Lake County Schools. I think the local SEIU needs to break off from SEIU and become independent.
This news report shows one of the NEA & SEIU FUNDED groups, Wisconsin Now, preaching hate vs police.
I am glad that Lake County's LCEA is not affiliated with the NEA and I hope AFT is not funding such activities.
But, I think the local SEIU should drop out of the national and become an independent union to not be affiliated with such extremist groups like Wisconsin Now. How much of local SEIU dues went to groups like that?
Local cops and Sheriff deputies should be aware that SEIU funds went to support the police hating group shown in the video.
