AAE's Noelani Kahapea explains the differences between a traditional teachers' union and the Association of American Educators
Often, despite disagreeing with the political positions and spending, and without knowing there are alternatives, educators join traditional teachers union like the AFT and NEA due to insurance benefits.

In this episode of Labor Relations Radio, host Peter List is joined by Noelani Kahapea, Senior Director of Policy and Advocacy for the Association of American Educators (AAE).

The AAE, according to its website, is the “largest national, non-union, professional educators' organization, advancing the profession by offering a modern approach to teacher representation and educational advocacy, as well as promoting professionalism, collaboration and excellence without a partisan agenda.”

Ms. Kahapea explains the benefits provided to AAE members at a fraction of the cost that are usually charged to traditional teachers unions, as well as a large distinction in how benefits are used.
