That would be the NEA, the teacher's union. Their ranks were weakened by Bush's No Child Left Behind that granted Vouchers to parents to pull their kids from public schools. A lot of public schools closed since, but I'm sure the backbone of our education system hasn't forgotten. Now, on the the service unions like police & fire. I imagine the Teamsters will be adding an endorsement as well, "down the road".

The UAW is growing now, thanx to the efforts of Sean Fein.
