Just had another thought. Since the title of the thread is teachers unions....
The reason why unions even exist is because workers had 0 rights. And it was terrible. So back in those assembly line days the workers walked off the job and the owner of the company lost money. These wildcat strikes were so effective all the wealthy buisness owners got together to figure out what to do. Since using police and the National Guard was just making things worse they decided to Allow unions. The spoke to their congressman and viola! Unions were finally legal.
No realizes this detail. Unions were allowed to happen!
Everyone cheered and was excited that they now had a voice and many years later we all enjoy the things we now take for granted..like 40 hr work week and OT...and no holidays and of your sick they can't just fire you. Or if you're pregnant they can't fire you. Child labor laws ...on an on.
For teachers the unions made it hard to just fire a teacher ..
Yes and the reason why? Cause those were always favor jobs people of power would get for other people. A good teacher would get the axe so someone's kid can get the job instead.
That's the way it used to be.
So no one argues or disputes this bit now it's...well ok so they got this and that for the worker and it's all law now so we don't need unions anymore.... eh wrong!
Unions maintain it all. Keep things on the up and up. Look at the private sector...because it's not unionized it's getting worse and worse .
So alot of private sector workers are angry they have to work longer for less only to have someone come around to their desk and say your position. Has been....eliminated.
Anger and jealously is what it is. And everyone wants to see the unions destroyed cause they don't enjoy what the unions have.
So it's a race to the bottom instead of saying hey let's go ahead and unionize and build ourselves up.
