Documents recently uncovered show that the teachers union and other school staff were using the Jeffco Schools communications department as a de facto campaign headquarters – and had been since at least 2003 (see last picture of memo). With a contentious election coming up, the union desperately needs the communications department to help shape and promulgate its messaging as it did in 2012. The communications shop, for the first time in history, is filled with folks who haven’t sworn allegiance to the crumbling union. The union needs this asset back under its control.Essentially what we see here is the greedy teachers union using school facilities–that are paid for by the taxpayers–to wage their campaign to force residents to pay higher tax rates. This is exactly why a government employee union should be illegal. This union used tax money to wage a war against the taxpayers with the goal of forcing them to pay higher taxes “for the kids.”
