NEW YORK – The American Federation of Teacher produced a “watch list” – or enemies list – of hedge fund managers critical of the union-protected public pension system, according to Business Insider.

The union sees hypocrisy in those standing to make millions off a system they’re criticizing. The defined benefit pension systems are underfunded in most states and in need of serious reform. But that reform is stridently opposed by unions.

So, in the name of “transparency,” the union produced a list of 33 investment firms it says are involved with pro-reform groups such as StudentsFirst, New York’s Manhattan Institute and Missouri’s Show-Me Institute.

Those put on the enemies list wasted no time slamming the “thuggish” union.

“The report attacks firms with the explicit intent of scaring away existing or potential limited partners on the basis of the political views of their individual employees, which is kind of McCarthyist at heart,” one anonymous source told Business Insider.

Another source felt the list was “a low blow, aggressive and personally targeted,” according to BI.

No, from a union? Really?

The hedge fund managers apparently don’t realize such an “enemies list” is Saul Alinsky 101: Freeze and isolate your opponent.

That’s the whole purpose behind many union actions, from pensions to contract negotiations. Freeze, isolate and attack your opponent and scare them away from doing anything against you. That’s the culture unions have brought into schools.
