Faculty collective bargaining
Teachers unions are labor organizations representing educators, primarily in public schools.
They negotiate collectively for wages, benefits, working conditions, and classroom policies.
In American politics, teachers unions wield significant influence, generally supporting Democratic candidates and opposing measures like school vouchers and merit-based pay: The teachers union threatened to strike over class sizes.
