[quote=Anonymous][quote]So teachers' unions exist for reasons other than looking out for teachers?[/quote] They look out for themselves. I have posted on this forum before. I taught in a system that had experienced a strike a couple of years before I began teaching. Bitterness from my colleagues who had participated. The only people that benefited from the strike were the leaders--who were fired, but hired back two years later into supervisory positions. Apparently, a deal was worked out with the end of the strike. The person who benefited the most? The guy who organized the strike. He was hired as the president of the local teachers' "association" making 7 times more than I did as a beginning teacher. This was many years ago, but the rules are the same. Randi Weingarten is not looking out for kids or teachers. She is protecting her fiefdom. [/quote]
