For the first time ever, the Education Intelligence Agency — which until now I did not know existed — has released numbers on the top teacher unions in the country. Dallas ranks 14th, with annual dues income of $4.8 million. Payroll is $1.2 million or 29%. The chart lists 22 union employees in Dallas, although we are warned here that those numbers can be squirrelly because of the way the IRS requires unions to report employment. If the union does indeed have 22 employees, they are making an average of $56,000 each. Odds are they have fewer employees, so the average is higher.
