RIFT WITHOUT DIFFERENCES

Privately, leaders in both factions of two warring organizations admit that rivalry between the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA) must eventually end in merger or alliance. Too much money and energy are being wasted that might better be directed toward common goals, and bitterness is building up which can be exploited by the enemies of both groups for decades to come. Michael Moskow, a labor economist with the Drexel Institute, says that the merger will definitely occur, but probably not for about five years. He notes that already some NEA and AFT affiliates have made overtures, for merger at the local level.
