Fearing that the recent Chicago teachers strike might have eroded
union support across the country, labor organizations are ponying up for
an extensive publicity campaign to improve their image. The Washington
Times is reporting that an umbrella group for many of the nation’s
teachers unions, the American Federation of Teachers, will be holding community events in cities all over the U.S in the waning weeks of the 2012 election season.
Some speculate that this new push is an indication that far from
being chastened by the events in Chicago, the unions are going on the
offensive.
