It is not only illegal for public employees to unionize, it is illegal for any public manager to negotiate with employees as an organized group.
That being said, there are many NEA members in SC, and this will have a major impact on our teachers.

We won’t win SC in the general election (unless we are going to carry 40+ states), but we can hold on to the upset we won in the Congressional District in Charleston, and we may have a shot at Lindsey Graham’s Senate seat.
Having Biden at the top of our ticket makes SC, and probably at least another dozen states, competitive in November.

It’s time to pull this party together and save our country.

to turn out the vote. At least that was the case when I was an active member in the 80s/90s.

The political demise of Leningrad Lindsey would be icing on the cake.

what would be the alternative? Biden fully deserves it, but once again an event is making me thankful we have such a good choice to offer America. Before 2016 I’d never seen it come down to just one like this, not really. Bad times.
