Concept information
Preferred term
unions of teachers
Definition
- Teachers make up one of the largest single segments of the American work force—as of 2010, there were approximately 4.2 million kindergarten through 12th grade teachers in public and private schools. Very generally, teachers' unions are labor unions that represent the needs of those teachers, as well as other education-related workers like day care employees, K-12 paraprofessionals, and professors (in selected areas).
