In “The PTA Disbands” (2F19) what other union joins the teachers’ strike as a sign of sympathy?

If you said a then you might have a calling as a professional Simpson’s trivia buff (for the record, I got that one right).
After 313 questions (only one question per weekend) I have a final score: 181 correct, 132 incorrect. That’s a 57.8% success rate. Which is not all that spectacular, but I’m still pretty proud. For a while I was averaging two of every three questions… then came the bad times. I may have to study more next time.
Having seen the calendar and considering myself an avid fan of the series, I would like to attest to the fact that beating 50% is quite an accomplishment. I own a Simpsons trivia game that often humbles me… good times….
