The nation's largest education union has endorsed President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.And from the day before that: GOP maligns teachers, Biden says. Making teachers contribute pennies on the dollar for unsustainable Cadillac healthcare policies is maligning teachers now? Making teachers contribute pennies on the dollar towards an unsustainably generous pension plan allowing them to retire in their 40s and live comfortably off taxpayer largesse is maligning teachers now? Oh, please already...
Members of the National Education Association voted to support Obama on Monday at their annual convention in Chicago.
In a statement, NEA President Dennis Van Roekel says Obama and the union share a vision and members wanted early and strong support to help his election.
...The association has 3.2 million members and bills itself as the largest labor union nationwide.
