For more than 15 years, I have covered Randi Weingarten, the president of the 1.7 million member American Federation of Teachers union, but I have never seen her as excited as when she got the news that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a social studies teachers and AFT member, had been selected as Vice President.
Behind the scenes, Weingarten had pushed heavily for Walz to be selected as Vice President. The first time that a non-lawyer had been on the Democratic ticket in 44 years since Jimmy Carter, who was a naval officer.
While in Pittsburgh last week, Weingarten sat down with Payday Report to discuss the impact of Walz’s selection on the rank-and-file of her union.
