Teachers Union and Hedge Funds Go to War Over Pension Billions
The Wall Street Journal; subscription may be required Link to more items from this source
June 29, 2016

"Some pension funds have withdrawn money from hedge-fund managers criticized by the teachers union. And some hedge-fund managers stopped making donations to advocacy groups targeted by [Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers]. Hedge funds, reluctant to buckle to the pressure, say Ms. Weingarten is doing a disservice to the teachers she represents, because funds should aim solely to earn the highest possible return on their assets. The personal beliefs or donations of hedge-fund managers, they argue, shouldn't be a factor in that decision."
