The Freedom Foundation, a notorious anti-union advocacy group, has launched a new organization, the Teacher Freedom Alliance, which the foundation’s CEO describes as “an alternative for pro-America educators who seek to restore traditional values in the classroom and provide students with the high-quality education they deserve — free from political influence and union control.”

Is there any phrase more meaningless than "pro-America"?

They've been trying this for decades in Australia. The so called red-unions.

The red unions have never won a bargaining agreement. Have never even won a seat at the table. They've never even won the right to have representatives in the workplace. They're openly sponsored by bosses to muddy the waters and divide actual unions. They are unregistered and undemocratic.

Despite the fact they've never done anything for their members they claim to have 18,000 members. Mostly anti-vaxxers.

My wife and sisters are part of the UFT. They’d NEVER give up their membership for that nonsense. Those union jobs provide incredible affordable healthcare for our families.
