Posted by unions no good?? on 7/06/07

    I've been hearing that the unions are destroying the school districts..but I see
    that without them (maybe just in the mid-west) they need them, or else the teachers
    would have serious issues and be treated horribly. What trouble has the unions
    caused for PA??

    P.S. Here in MI we had more like 1,700 applicants, I can't believe 4,000 that is
    INSANITY!!!!
