U.S. Education Secretary worried about Wisconsin protests
DENVER (WXOW) -- U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan says the move in Wisconsin and other states to strip teachers of bargaining rights worries him.
During a conference of teacher unions and school administrators in Denver, Duncan said he'd make a personal call Thursday to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
Duncan didn't elaborate on what he'd tell the GOP governor, but he promised the educators he'd put pressure on governors to work with unions, not antagonize them.
The head of the American Federation of Teachers, which represents about 1.5 million members nationwide, praised Duncan's vow to stick up for teachers' unions.
