State affiliates acting at the behest of a national union is a functional union, and have been effective in collectively bargaining for members since the 1970s.

Not when the state affiliates are not allowed to collectively bargain.

  • I recommend looking into the many things that NEA (and other national unions like it) do to enact their agendas regardless of their ability to bargain within a given state. For example the U.S. Department of Ed basically exists because of the NEA's lobbying efforts.
