Will Rogers Tony,

First of all, no, not all unions are bad. The bad thing is that ost of them have become corrupted by people who are in it for the money. We end teacher abuses by ALL teachers becoming intelligent and knowledgeable abouot the political process and become political leaders where we live.

TechnoMage There is way too much wrong in this account to be correct. Even in the state of SC there are laws which forbid the outcomes you described. Sometimes when you are dealing with an ass you need a Lawyer. This sounds like such a case. They CAN only get away with these things if you let them. But they CAN get away with these things IF you LET them. DON'...See More
