Our Board of Directors, made up of over 160 elected teachers and about 10 executive leadership positions, voted to endorse Joe Biden after debate, input from members, and candidate forums.
The 3 million member union dwarves the APWU, the 200,000 member postal worker union that is Bernie's largest union endorsement. Some Sanders supporters have sought to downplay the vote by saying it can't be considered legitimate if all 3 million members didn't vote, but there were no concerns when the 13 member board of the UWPA, only 5 of which are actually regional representatives for the 200,000 members, voted to endorse Sanders.
A bad faith argument from the Sanders camp? Shocking!
