Nope. They only care about their members. In fact, a former union president (at least I think he was a president) said "I'll start putting the needs of students ahead of the teachers when they start paying dues." Wow. 
At least he was honest.
I got sick and tired of hearing that "we only care about the children" lie during October's strike in Chicago.
One of their demands was to have a nurse in every school (which I'm totally on board with). However, part of me thinks they just threw in that clause to gain support from the public.
