teacher unions
Faculty bargaining groups
Teacher unions are labor organizations representing teachers in negotiations over wages, benefits, and working conditions.
They advocate collectively on behalf of educators and often engage in broader educational policy debates.
In American politics, teacher unions are associated with the Democratic Party and draw both support as protectors of educators and criticism as obstacles to reform: The teacher unions opposed the charter school expansion.
