Fun with the California Federation of Teachers

Mike Antonucci:

It's a serious time in the world of education labor. Some even call it war. And while the California Federation of Teachers is stockpiling arms in the Fight for California's Future, the union still has a wide range of priorities, as evidenced by its list of approved resolutions from last month's convention at the Marriott Manhattan Beach.

Resolution 1 calls on the state to research the effects of methyl iodide and asks CalSTRS to divest any investment in the company that manufactures it for agricultural use.

Resolution 2 institutes compensation for additional statewide CFT officers, the amount to be determined by the CFT Executive Council.

Resolution 4 directs the union to lobby for compulsory kindergarten.
