The nation’s biggest teachers’ union is in a stalemate with its own employees at the worst possible time
The NEA’s six-week lockout of its employee union is delaying its ability to rally its members behind former member Tim Walz.
In early July, amid contract negotiations, employees of the National Education Association (NEA) went on strike for three days. But rather than push the nation’s largest labor union to engage with its staff on a new contract, the strike began a standoff that has been going for six weeks and counting.
