Summary

Public employees across America are growing weary of unions that do not represent their interests, says Elisabeth Kines, the national executive director of Americans for Fair Treatment.

Kines helps public sector employees, such as teachers, to understand their First Amendment rights and to stand up to union pressure. She says conservatives used to be the only ones reaching out for help. Now, she receives lots of calls from politically liberal individuals who have been abused or bullied by their union and are asking for help.

Kines joins “The Daily Signal Podcast,” to explain how unions have come to yield the power they do and what Americans for Fair Treatment is doing to serve the needs of public sector employees.

We also cover these stories:

President Joe Biden announced a number of new executive actions intended to curb gun violence.
In March, an estimated 172,000 migrants sought to cross the U.S.-Mexico border.
The gap in Americans’ political party affiliation is wider today than it has been since 2012, according to a new Gallup poll.
