"Despite our several attempts, by phone and email, to schedule such a meeting, your office's response has been radio silence," said the letter, signed by the union's president, Randi Weingarten. "We can only assume," the letter added, "that the NRA business is more valuable to you than students and their educators are." .... The teachers union is also putting pressure on its pension managers, who oversee $3 trillion of teacher retirement savings, to push fund companies to shed gun-maker stocks, offer funds that specifically exclude gun-related investments or drop investment managers that refuse.

There are at least 100 million gun owners in America. There are 3.2 million teachers.
Gun owners have money. Teachers are reputed to be poorly paid.
Wells Fargo is a bank.

In another 5 years, those public employees unions might be totally gone. Fun owners will still be here.

14 million Americans “consider themselves” NRA members. The actual rolls show around 5 million.
Teachers that are union members count 2.5 million.
For extra fun, most of those are members at gunpoint and have no choice. And many of them are gun owners.

Well see how many teachers actually do what their union leadership tells them to do.
Meanwhile I will close out my BofA account though I have to keep it quiet as to why Im doing so because Im in negotiations with them to do my next project. I am still willing to take their money, Im just no longer willing to give them any of mine.

Ya haveta wonder why the union, whose purpose is to negotiate pay and benefits for the teachers, feels the need to join a socialist political campaign and then use the union dues and risk the teachers pension funds to play their game.
1% indeed.
(And no I dont really wonder - I KNOW why)

If WF had a promotional program going with the teacher’s union, union members were probably getting some sort of mortgage process bennie...lower rate, discount closing costs, lower qualification parameters, etc. So, the union is eliminating this bennie for their members?

Federal Regulators extorted money from a business?
Sounds like an endorsement to me.

Yes, helped by their then insolvent pension funds. And by then the ability to double dip by going to work for the USPS will also be gone.

Public unions must be outlawed. The taxpayer is NOT represented!
