Teachers Union Unable to Win Outright at Leader’s Alma Mater

Randi Weingarten accuses Cornell of 'intimidating voters' after union fails to win majority of grad students

The American Federation of Teachers appears unable to win a majority vote of graduate students at its president's alma mater, although the final vote is still too close to call and may be appealed.

Graduate students at Cornell University voted 919-856 against organizing a union with the AFT on March 28. Eighty-one ballots remain uncounted as they are subject to challenge. Those ballots could shift the final tally, leading the union to cry foul.

Randi Weingarten, AFT president and Cornell Class of 1980, accused the university of meddling in the election in an email to graduate students the day before voting began. Weingarten said the university could reduce admissions and cut health care costs in the event of a union victory.

Gee, it must mean that somebody else lost the election for them, right? This is getting to be a familiar story from Liberal Land.

Maybe this country is finally seeing the liberals for who they really are.

What would be even better is if the Liberals saw themselves for who they really are and what forces and whose money are leading them by their noses over the cliff.
