[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A transparent handout to the teachers unions. [/quote]

Nope. None of us wanted this. [/quote]

The teachers probably didn’t, I can buy that. But something is driving this. And any time it’s less instructional hours for the same pay, it’s a union behind it. [/quote]

Damn teachers union strikes again.[/quote]

My regular statement on teachers' unions:

The unions usually being with well intentioned motives.
The leaders get a taste of power.
No one benefits from teachers' unions as much as the leaders of the teachers' unions.

I was a teacher.  In my first year of teaching, the leader of the local union made six times the salary of a beginning teacher.  That stunned me and I began to pay attention.
There had been a strike prior to the year I was hired.  The teacher leaders of the strike were fired.  Two years later, they all were rehired in supervisory positions making at least twice what they made before.  It was a deal worked out at the end of the strike.

Look at Randi Weingarten.  She makes more than Reid.  What has she done to make teachers' lives better?  We know she lobbied to keep kids out of school during Covid.

Teachers' unions benefit the union leaders and defends incompetent teacheres.  [/quote]
