[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are absolutely evil to be threatening to strike. [/quote]

Could you provide some examples of other ways you would like them to advocate for a new contract?[/quote]

Pretty much any way except that? But sure, you can keep on asserting that teacher’s unions can do whatever they want to advance their interests, and that the interests of children are irrelevant to the union. And if you say that, I will assert that the union is evil because they are using their power to hurt children. Even the threat of hurting children is unconscionable. The sad part is, most DC parents would actually support teachers getting a good contract - but when you make clear you don’t GAF about hurting kids, you lose your natural allies. [/quote]

Ok, can you elaborate? If your employer is unwilling to negotiate in good faith and just wants to give you a little money instead of better working conditions what would you do? The option is wait until Bowser is no longer mayor? 
I’m seriously asking.[/quote]

Your premise that Bowser is refusing to negotiate in good faith is totally unsupported and incorrect afaik. In my job I don’t have the right to strike so I don’t think teachers should either. [/quote]

We don’t just want MONEY! So you’re saying you want us all to quit instead? Because isn’t that what you’d do if your employer was corrupt? Great plan.[/quote]

Yes, I think you should quit or be fired if you strike. That may result in some short-term disruptions but unlike an unpunished strike or covid closures, it would produce long-term gains. [/quote]

HAHAHAHA. You know no one is coming to replace them, right?[/quote]
