[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who are anti union are fundamentally anti democracy.  Union workers vote for representation and then their representatives have a voice in how their work lives are run.  It’s not a perfect system but neither is democracy — sometimes people pick bad representatives.  Or sometimes the people make choices that we aren’t crazy about.   But that doesn’t mean we end their right to select reprentatives to have a say in their own lives.  [/quote]

Look what happened with Michelle Rhee and the teachers union a decade ago. She had a great proposal to dramatically increase salary of teachers in DC, bringing in new talent and improving teaching standards in our schools, in return for individual teachers giving up their right to stay in their position long after all of their bosses and colleagues said they were completely ineffective in their role. However, the teachers union felt threatened and literally refused to allow it to go to vote among their members! Why would they refuse a vote? Because they knew the majority of their members would have wanted to accept it. Who lost? Our kids.
