NEA teachers' union loses 70,000 members in one year...

Somehow this is good news for them because they expected to lose 130,000 teachers...

Via EIA:

This passes for good news these days when it comes to union membership, but the National Education Association is down 70,000 members compared with this point last year. The reason it is relatively good news is because the union budgeted for a loss of 130,000 teachers and 10,000 education support employees in the 2012-13 school year.
