Annoying Freedom Foundation Communications
|
|
Many of you have reported that the Freedom Foundation, or other anti-teacher/anti-union groups, have reached out to you this summer and fall with misleading information about your union membership. We are a strong local, state, and national union because of your dedication to each other and the solidarity that comes from being part of a union. As any organization, we have a wide variety of opinions about issues, but we share our passion for public education and
public school students from every background.
When you get those messages from groups like the Freedom Foundation, feel free to report them as spam by using this
link. You can see a great article about this spam, and the Freedom Foundation that was written for the Washington State Labor Council newsletter.
