In labor news, the head of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten, is denouncing former secretary of state and possible presidential candidate Mike Pompeo after he claimed that she was “the most dangerous person in the world.” Weingarten said she suspects Pompeo made the comment in an appeal to billionaire Republican funders who want to dismantle public education.

Randi Weingarten: “This is the kind of rhetoric that creates the incitement and the hate and the divisiveness that we’re seeing in America and around the world today. Let me be clear: What the AFT does and what teachers do every day in classrooms is that they’re the antidote to this kind of destructive rhetoric.”
