The Department of Labor introduces new software to simplify union financial reports, revealing significant political spending by teachers unions like NEA and AFT. These unions, with millions of members, allocate tens of millions annually to political activities, predominantly supporting Democrats. NEA, with 2.8 million members, spent over $123 million on gifts and grants in 2025, with its president earning over $550,000. AFT, with 1.8 million members, also allocates substantial funds to politics. This trend extends to other large unions, with SEIU devoting over $53 million to political activities in 2024. Officials aim to increase transparency and encourage union members to scrutinize their dues allocation.
