What's that leave for the union to rile teachers and their spouses up about? Class sizes. It's their go-to and it works every time. Worked in the late 80s, worked through the 90s, worked in the 2000s, worked in the 2010s and of course it'll work in the 2020s.
I know for a fact anybody between 16 and 60 knows teachers have always complained about class sizes. There isn't a teacher working today who didn't know what they were signing up for, but they all get amnesia as soon as they start teaching and think they're being overworked and underappreciated with these HUGE class sizes nobody ever told them to expect lol.
Rinse and repeat for the next 50 years, I guess.

Is it propaganda if the problem actually exists and nothing gets done about it?
Even if a teacher goes into the profession knowing it’s an issue why should that prohibit them from trying to fix it?
It’s like saying that because someone who knew getting a job at McDonald’s or Amazon wasn’t going to be sunshine and rainbows that they shouldn’t want or advocate for it to be better if it can be.
The other issue I see with what you’re saying is that the class size issue isn’t prevalent in all areas or districts, but that doesn’t mean a teacher who wants to work at a school with smaller class sizes will have a job available to them there.
