Bernie Sanders: The American Federation Of Teachers

Over the years unions have provided many benefits to union workers through collective bargaining. One of the biggest union forces in the United States is the teachers union. With almost close to 5 million members nationwide, the teachers union is one of the most powerful unions. Through collective bargaining, problems have been created for the public school system which takes place at local school districts; rules have been imposed to create ineffective forms of organization at schools. The rules that are currently in place by collective bargaining are also creating a big disconnection with many public schools, that being the interest of the children. The teachers union is one main role

The 2016 Presidential Campaign candidate, Bernie Sanders, believes in creating a better America. In proving to the American people, rich and poor, how great the country can be if all people vote for who is trusted best as future President of the United States. The political figures in government care about money and wealth, not the people. Bernard Sanders would be the best choice for President for the main reason that he is concerned about the issues in America that create inequality for the people. The issues addressed by this candidate will create social and economic equality.

A vote for Bernie Sanders is a vote for free education, reasonably paying jobs, and universal healthcare. [I need to add another sentence right here]. There are many reasons why Bernie Sanders is the best candidate for president based on his policies on college, jobs, and healthcare.

Amongst all of the presidential candidates of the 2016 race, one in particular stands above the rest. Bernie Sanders, running as a democrat, holds the highest capability to better the nation amongst all other candidates.

Why do we need Chicago Teacher Unions? All they do is help the teachers create a contract and help them get paid a good sum of money. There are multiple reasons why we need Teacher Unions in multiple manners. The Chicago Teacher Union do not only help the teachers create contracts but protect not only the teachers but the students, from being taken advantage of by the Board of Education. Teacher Unions are an important step in a compromise for teachers’ rights and building safer conditions not only for them, but students as well through its access of striking together the support of other unions, and political action. Opponents believe that unions are bad because these organizations protect the workers that are not doing their job. Opponents

The candidates that I chose are Ben Carson and Hillary Clinton. The reason why I chose Hillary Clinton because I believe she will able to help people who are in school trying to get their education so students do not have borrow money to pay for their tuition to get books and fees to attend a two year or four year college.I would like to learn is she willing to help those that are needed of an education and to see a brighter future for themselves. I believe she will be able to help people who are struggling with health care. I like her ideas and I want to see if she planning to start a health care program for those that need it. I believe Hillary Clinton will end crime because our crime is terrible when people start stealing something from the inside of others house or off their property, people killing innocent people and babies and childrens that are being kidnapped by strangers. I hope Hillary Clinton is able to stop this because at this rate anything can happen. I want to see if she able to end this crime before it get out of control.

Another striking contradiction is the fact that virtually every major labor union supports Clinton over Sanders. For instance, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has endorsed Clinton, but has also played a vital role in creating arguably the most important economic rights movement in the country - the Fight for $15.

If I was able to vote a presidential candidate based on his or her views on immigration, I would choose Democrat Bernie Sanders. As well as allowing immigrants from foreign countries to come to our country where there is a lot of diversity, his innovative ideas also help our economy. One prime example is Sanders stating if he were to be president, 200,000 guest workers would be in our country for two years. And, in a television interview, he additionally stated: “If poverty is increasing and if wages are going down, we [do not] need millions of people… coming into this country as guest workers [working] for lower wages than American workers and drive waged down even lower than they are now.” Overall, Sanders wants to have efficient workers so that America’s economy can be

Much of the politicization associated with charter schools is related to their often explicitly unreceptive position toward teacher’s unions. In response to union’s highly publicized waste of funds, many charter programs pride themselves in allowing school operators to have complete freedom over all budget and hiring decisions. In New York, for example, “rubber rooms”, where tenured teachers receive full pay to wait for disciplinary hearings on actions as extreme as molesting a student, became controversial when it was revealed that the state spends $22 million on these teachers to do absolutely nothing annually (Oh, 2012). These inefficiencies encourage an anti-union stance among most charter school advocates, who aspire to push for private sector productivity and performance based management into the public school system. However, this

I am going to be voting in my state's primary in a few day's and I'm not sure who to vote for. I cannot stand Donald Trump's antics so I will not be voting for him. This leaves me with two possible choices; Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton. I know that Bernie is very left but I know that change is needed today in America. I also know that Hillary is "fighting for us," but she only recently changed her view on LGBT laws. If anyone could help me decide who to vote for, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in

Bernie Sanders is also in favor of immigration reform, though there is one policy he is concerned about, which is the 'guest worker ' programs, H2A and H1B. He is concerned these programs will bring in so many unskilled workers that it could cause a loss of jobs for some U.S. citizens. He 's particularly concerned that these programs would cut into jobs that might otherwise be taken by young people, that there will be even less jobs for them, then there are now.

I choose him because his morals and views align with my own. Bernie Sanders is a civil rights activist even when it was not popular to be. If he becomes president he will sign the Paycheck Fairness Act into law. He is also is pro-choice on the issue of abortion. He and I both believe the government should not be able to decide for women what they can and cannot do with their bodies. Clinics not only provide abortions for women who do decide to have them, but also exams and birth control. Climate change and how to fix it is another one of his top priorities. If he becomes president he will implement a plan that will eliminate our dependency on nuclear and oil. He has a plan to make each state energy sources 100% clean energy. CEO’s of companies

For the second time in almost 4 years, over 350,000 Chicago Public School Students may not be able to go to school because of the CTU Strike that is currently in progress today (The Washington Post). The issue between the Chicago Teachers Union and Chicago Public Schools has not been solved yet due to disagreements about the income received. The Chicago Teachers Union has made offers to school administrations; however, the responses were not in their favor. The union has been in progress of agreeing on a contract “since November 2011, [and the strike that occurred at the time] was the first to hit the Windy City in 25 years” (Liebelson). The issue must have erupted due to a misconception or a realization of problems occurring. Chicago Teachers Union choosing to strike does not affect charter schools since they are not a part of Chicago Public Schools. The issue of school strikes can be fixed by increasing the budgets and providing useful resources to teachers in order to improve the level of education.

This is a question that I have been asked on many occasions, personally I do not understand why anybody would not love Bernie Sanders. However, for individuals that are undecided on who’s the best candidate, this is a good question. Therefore, my first response is that Bernie Sanders understands my struggle to move up the mobility chain, which can only happen if I am able to afford to continue my education. Just like others, I am basing my future career opportunities on my education level. Bernie Sanders is the only candidate that is pushing for free or low cost higher education, which will not only help me, but it will also benefit my children. According to Gilbert (2015) causal relationships in occupational attainment model, there is a direct connection between the father’s occupation and the son’s occupation. There is also a strong connection between the father’s occupation to the son’s education and occupation (Gilbert, 2015). There, is no data that can directly connect a mother’s occupation with the child’s education or occupation, which is a point that is pointed out by Gilbert (2015). Education for me is the only way that I can break the downward mobility that I could possibly inherit from both of my parents. Being unable to obtain sensible and stable employment can affect how I repay loans, obtain healthcare for my family and provide upward mobility for my children. All of these are reasons that I believe in Bernie

Teacher Unions have evolved over time and have been essential in education equality and reform. Some now question the motivation behind these unions and whether or not they are now a barrier to reform, rather than a assistant. This paper will explore the evolvement of not only Teacher Unions, but the purpose and motivation behind said unions. Two of the most predominately known unions are American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association, NEA.
