  + stars: | 2024-07-06 | by ( Noam Scheiber | More About Noam Scheiber | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
A strike by the staff of the nation’s largest teachers’ union has prompted President Biden to cancel a speech on Sunday in Philadelphia, where he was scheduled to address thousands of delegates to the union’s annual convention. The strike has shut down the last three days of the four-day convention, as delegates declined to cross a picket line. “President Biden is a fierce supporter of unions and he won’t cross a picket line,” a statement from his campaign said, adding that the president was still planning to travel to Pennsylvania over the weekend. The National Education Association has about 2.5 million members nationwide, not including retirees, according to a recent government filing. The staff union says it represents more than 350 employees assigned to the union’s headquarters in Washington.

☆ A Week With the Wild Children of the A.I. Boom
