Top Priority

From this article, about a plan to open 100+ schools in Chicago over the next several years, including some charter and corporate schools which are allowed to employ non-union teachers:



"Keep in mind our priority is first and foremost to protect our members," said Marilyn Stewart, the Chicago Teachers Union president-elect, in a statement Tuesday.



Correct me if I'm wrong--and I may be. But shouldn't the "priority" of ANY teachers' group be to protect the interests of the STUDENTS???
