Legislation and Politics:
necessary correlaries to collective bargaining

CFT members sometimes wonder why their union is involved in politics. Unions have never been and will never be exclusively collective bargaining organizations, because economic muscle at the workplace is always dependent on the political environment. An example: two thirds of funding for local school districts comes from the state of California. Decisions by state legislators matter at least as much as local school board members to the welfare of our students.
