American Federation of Teachers has a mission statement that dedicates
their efforts towards all professionals, employees, and families of such to
give support for them through healthcare, education, employment, etc. This
group is dedicated to fighting for better opportunities, pay, and care. Not
only is the AFT involved in many many groups, compaigns, etc nationwide, but
also is involved in many worldwide. I agree with what they are doing and think
they are in search for better opportunities and a better life for many people.
I loved researching the Service Employees National Union because of the
broad spectrum that they cover. Not only are they purposed for property and
public service, but also for a healthcare union. Their sections rank as one of
the largest (if not the largest) existing today. Their dedicated for equality,
justness, and for people to do more than just survive is admirable.
I think an interest group has as much power as their membersallow them
to. I think they make great usage of the gateways into the political system and
help to ensure that the opinions of the citizens are heard in one loud,
thundering voice. All citizens are allowed their own opinion, and interest
groups allow these citizens the knowledge that they are NOT alone in their
feelings. There must be fair treatment towards these groups. When there is
proof that a specific interest group is running the country instead of the
government out for the good of the people, there is a severe issue with
legality and justness.

I love the interest group AFT. They have great values, goals, and missions. My mom supports it and loves it, too because she is a high school teacher. She doesn't agree with the current pay of Tennessee teachers, so she likes to stay on top with what they try to accomplish. Great answers!
ReplyDeleteI feel like AFT is the way to go. They worked with making common core and that is very important. I am currently an assistant in a middle school and I see how difficult it is for Language Arts and Math teachers right now. They are having to teach both S.P.I.s and common core standards. AFT are help teachers understand common core, and I think that is great.
