[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My personal opinion is that the police union exists to fight for the interests of its members (i.e. cops), not the interests of the people served by the sector (i.e. everyday citizens). The same is true of the WTU, which flights for the interests of its members (i.e. teachers) and not the people served by the sector (i.e. students). This was clearest during the absurd and seriously damaging school closures. And the WTU's political muscle is formidable. There's another thread highlighting the money flowing into local races through DFER and others, which raises good points. But what can parents who oppose the WTU's policies do to influence this election?[/quote]

Only hole in your logic is police don't serve citizens. The police are not legally obligated to help you if you're in danger..... [/quote]

er....not sure you want to make this analogy, given last year.[/quote]

That's not an analogy, it's a legal fact and there have been several court cases that reinforces this....[/quote]

Pretty sure PP was suggesting that teachers didn't seem to be legally obligated to teach last year.[/quote]
