Hundreds of labor advocates and union members have urged New York’s governor to reject a proposed voucher program backed by a former president, arguing it could undermine public education and worker protections. The Central Labor Council, affiliated with the AFL-CIO, has led the push, framing the initiative as a threat to collective bargaining and equitable funding for schools. Critics warn the plan could divert resources away from traditional public education systems, raising concerns about long-term impacts on students and educators. The debate highlights broader tensions between private school expansion and labor-backed education policies.
