Ahead of Election Day, a new survey shows voters across the country and in the battleground state of Pennsylvania overwhelmingly support labor-law protections and would oppose cuts that affect teachers and other public-sector workers. The survey focused in part on the Heritage Foundation’s conservative playbook known as Project 2025, quizzing voters about whether they’d approve of dismantling the U-S Department of Education. 57-percent said ‘no.’ Arthur G. Steinberg, who heads the American Federation of Teachers in Pennsylvania, thinks that would not only devastate public education, but affect the local economy.
