 <link>https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/3834</link>

The AFT&#039;&#039;s ideas include: expanding the federal government&#039;&#039;s role in funding education; increasing access to post-secondary education through tuition assistance; creating a system of federal daycare centers run through the public schools; providing federal financial assistance to state and local governments, especially for welfare and medical costs; and extending federal collective bargaining laws and pension protections to public employees. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/3834&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;read&amp;nbsp;more&amp;nbsp;&amp;raquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
