If you hate it so much, QUIT

by mo

Feb 23, 2011

Greetings from Texas. If you dislike the proposal before you so much you're willing to sacrifice your students' classtime, you should quit. Mind you, I'm a teacher. Our jobs are in the classroom, not on the picket line. Shame on ya'll.

HeyNow Lay off the coal miners. Most of us are non unions. We did away with that a decade ago for the most part. Only 20 percent of miners belong to a Union now days. We learned how corrupt and useless they are and have done away with them.

Granted Unions in the begining were a good thing but now the Feds actually do a much better job taking care...See More

The Unions do nothing.

Where did the regulations and other things come from? That Union you say you no longer need. If the 20% members carrying you 80% freeloaders suddenly disappeared do you honestly believe the regulations, other things and oversight by the Fed.s' wouldn't too?

I hope you at least pay your fair shaire.

If you work for a living you should wake up. For business it's all about the bottom line. . . How many times your annual wage do the CEO and board members of your company make? 100? 300? 500 times?

HEYNOW Funny, my insurance is better than what they give you at union mines and my salary is higher as well. And our safety records are better than most of the Union Mines also. So were do you think I would rather work? Oh and there are some mines closing down this spring in this area. All three of them are Union Mines and the reason they give for closing...See MoreFunny, my insurance is better than what they give you at union mines and my salary is higher as well.

Susan D in NC "We are a non union state in Texas, and we teachers are doing fine- better than fine! You don't need unions, save your union dues! Fire your union!"

I also teach in a non-unionized state and the teachers here are NOT doing fine. We haven't had a raise in almost five years, our pay has been furloughed, we are provided very little materials ...See More
