House Republicans allege that pro-Democrat teachers’ union boss Randi Weingarten may have improperly spent union funds on personal luxuries, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The House Education and Workforce Committee inquired about public records showing that the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) spent more than $100,000 on private limousine services since September 2023 in a Thursday letter to the AFT. Lawmakers have also received reports from unnamed sources that Weingarten, the union’s president, has paid for other conveniences such as a private driver, the letter says. The influential union boss previously drew criticism by advocating for schools to stay closed during the COVID-19 pandemic despite data showing such restrictions were pointless.
