Gotta love unions...
The WEA recently decided that, despite the direct benefit to children, the Children’s Fund will now refuse to reimburse teachers for some of their purchases simply because “[a] great many of the receipts members submit for reimbursement are for purchases from Wal-Mart.”
What makes the WEA think that hurting Wal-Mart (search) is more important than meeting the needs of children? The answer is clear: Wal-Mart has successfully resisted unionization of its employees, becoming organized labor's common enemy. For the WEA, penalizing Wal-Mart's anti-union policies is more important than allowing its members to help their needy students.
