But few realize that the principal obstruction to all reform is a pair of powerful and well~entrenched organizations: the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). The NEA and AFT enroll over three million members. Their local, state, and national revenues exceed $1 billion annually, not counting their PACs, foundations, and wholly owned or controlled subsidiaries. In this unprecedented expose, Myron Lieberman shows how they raise and spend vast amounts, how they protect the power and perquisites of more than 6,000 officers and staff, and how they employ more full~time political staff than the Democratic and Republican parties combined. Teachers will be shocked to learn how the unions stifle dissent within their ranks, how union bureaucrats enjoy a standard of living few teachers could hope to achieve, and how union national political activities are far removed from most teachers' interests or political preferences. Myron Lieberman is a life member of the NEA and former candidate for AFT president. For over 40 years, he has been involved with the NEA and AFT as a convention delegate and consultant. But now that the unions have reached a bloated, expensive, and obstructionist size, now that their political grasp far exceeds its reasonable reach, now that so many parents and students are unhappy with public schools but unable to overcome the unions' resistance to change, it is time to point out that there is a better way. His conclusion is simple: teachers would be better served by professional organizations that cost far less because they do not support an affluent union bureaucracy, and do not commit teacher resources to a political agenda opposed by rank~and~file teachers. We need teacher organizations that focus on educational improvement and teacher welfare, not social engineering.
