The National Education Association (NEA), the nation’s largest teachers union, finds itself facing a strike from its own staff union, the National Education Association Staff Organization (NEASO). This internal conflict comes amidst a backdrop of ongoing teacher strikes across the country, leaving students without education and parents frustrated. The NEASO accuses the NEA of wage theft, outsourcing, and abandoning union values. Meanwhile, the NEA defends its actions and criticizes the NEASO for spreading misinformation. The situation highlights the internal power struggles within the NEA and the broader impact of union actions on students and their education.

The California Teacher’s Association (CTA) will continue airing an attack ad against Governor Gavin Newsom despite reaching an agreement with the governor over school funding cuts. The ad claims that classrooms “face a monumental crisis” under Newsom’s budget revision, even though the governor has since rolled back his initial proposal to cut education funding. The CTA, a powerful progressive teachers union, is a longtime ally of Newsom and has contributed millions of dollars to his campaigns. The agreement between Newsom and the CTA ensures that schools will receive an additional $5.5 billion in the future, but the CTA will continue to monitor any attempts to weaken the constitutional protections behind the Proposition 98 funding guarantee.
