This is a partisan bill targeting a major labor union. It is unlikely to get the support needed from the other party to pass the Senate.
Key Points
This bill would take away the official federal charter for the National Education Association. This group is the largest union for teachers and school staff in the United States.
A federal charter is a special recognition from Congress. While it does not give the group federal money, it provides a level of prestige and legal status that most private organizations do not have.
If this passes, the union would still exist as a private group, but it would no longer be listed in the official laws that recognize groups like the Red Cross or the Boy Scouts.
The bill was introduced by Blackburn and Lummis. It follows criticism from some lawmakers who believe the union has become too involved in politics to keep its special government recognition.
