The Teachers (AFT) and the Service Employees have become the first unions to break organized labor’s long silence on starting an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump. They’re for it.
“All Americans—no matter where we are from or what color we are—can agree that our democracy is too important for any individual to be above the law, including the nation’s president,” union President Mary Kay Henry said on Sept. 25, a day after AFT President Randi Weingarten weighed in.
“Donald Trump has undermined the rule of law, threatened our national security, and held in contempt the very institutions on which our republic was built, most notably in his use of presidential power to pressure a foreign government to investigate a potential political opponent. He must be held accountable. No one is above the law,” Weingarten said.
But a spot check of unions shows none are willing to take the next step and actually call for impeaching Trump through a vote by the full U.S. House. Other progressive groups demand that.
And only SEIU’s Henry, so far, has cited Trump’s crimes against workers as a reason for investigation of impeachment, too—and she did so indirectly.

Run by pinkos
Randi Weingarten endorsed Hillary and put the union’s stamp on it even though the rank & file wanted Bernie.
become first unions to back Trump impeachment probe
= = =
It was ‘probe’ that sold them.
They would back any probe.
The younger the better.
Like this is a surprise.
The Purple People Beaters were the first weaponized group the DNC enabled for the purpose of ramming thru Obamacare.
After it was passed, United Healthcare unionized under SEIU.
I thought unions were not political and could not use due for political activity./sarc
UNION MEMBERS, one of the groups that have the GREATEST boost in employment because of the presidency of DJT now seem to desire the “good old days” of HIGH unemployment, NO Help Wanted signs on display, and less traffic because FAR fewer “workers”are going to their jobs.
Of course, remember that these “unions” are part of the Deep SWAMP.
Unions started out being a good thing. Then, over time, they morphed into something mostly bad for the country.
Of course the teacher’s union. Bunch of communists if ever there was.
Another reason to get your children out of public schools.
Socialists and illegal immigrants oppose President Trump? Shocking!
Unions have been obsolete for 40 yrs.
I’m so shocked.
It’s too bad, though, some good apples get dragged along with it, against their will.
They would back any probe.
The younger the better.
No wonder Tim Kaine likes unions...
Donald Trump’s economy is the best thing that ever happened to their pension funds, and their unions wanna kill the golden goose.
Members, either get control of your unions or decertify them before you lose what little good will you have left with the taxpaying public.
Of course, the Leftist unions hate the President because they got nothing from their millions of dollars in campaign donations to Hillary.
Why is it even news that Left-wing/Socialist groups hate Trump, Republicans and Conservatives, and want them all removed from office, limit their power of any kind and beaten into the dirt?
Can I get a “Duh”?
Our country and way of life is doomed unless we can gain back control of the public education system.
Not that there was much doubt before with these groups, but it’s still good to know for certain who one’s enemies are.
