JC Bowman Commentary: A Modern Approach to Educator Representation

July 14, 2018July 13, 2018 JC Bowman

Most educators are not buying into a more militant, progressive labor movement beholden to the far left. Educators nationally often spend hundreds, or sometimes even thousands of dollars per year on union dues. There are much more cost-effective alternatives, like Professional Educators of Tennessee. That is what makes groups like Professional Educators of Tennessee different.

There are non-union alternatives for educators in other states as well. Nobody wants to return the 1950’s.
