April 4, 2003--New York State United Teachers, New York's largest union,
held its annual Representative Assembly in Washington, DC from April 3-5.
On the second day of the convention, delegates heard from Gov. Howard Dean
in the morning and Sen. John Kerry in the afternoon. The two candidates
have radically different rhetorical styles: compare Dean's
speech and Kerry's
speech. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, much speculated upon as
a possible 2008 candidate, also spoke on April 4. Sen. John Edwards
had been scheduled to speak on April 3, but could not make it. NYSUT,
which claims 480,000 members, is affiliated with the American Federation
of Teachers of the AFL-CIO; Thomas Y. Hobart Jr. is president. |
