California Teachers Association to Spend $3 Million Against High Quality Teachers Act

Hot Air reports:
The California Teachers Association will set aside up to $3 million to spend on three proposed statewide ballot initiatives in 2014. Currently only one of the three is in the signature-gathering phase.

CTA supports “The Nonprofit Donor Full Disclosure Act of 2014,” which would require “persons engaged in issue advocacy and lobbying to disclose the top funding sources to the organization responsible for the communication on communications sent to the public related to pending legislation and administrative action, and issue advocacy.”

Its language is awaiting approval by the state attorney general.

CTA opposes an initiative that would eliminate “constitutional protections for vested pension and retiree healthcare benefits for current public employees, including teachers, nurses, and peace officers, for future work performed” and would permit “government employers to reduce employee benefits and increase employee contributions for future work if retirement plans are substantially underfunded or government employer declares fiscal emergency.”
The greedy cartel works to keep their monopoly privileges.
