[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 2219637, member: 198"] I don't recall mentioning police and fire fighters but I will play along. Police, fire fighters, and teachers are performing critical work. Particularly police and fire fighters. For them to go on strike is dangerous to the public. For that reason many, if not most of their unions, have a no strike clause in their contracts. As they should. Teachers are educating our children. I shouldn't have to explain to you how important that task is. Yes, they should be compensated well......[B][I]if[/I][/B] they are getting results. Well, look around. Our schools are failing. Our kids are nowhere near the level of the kids of many other developed countries. It's obvious that unions don't belong in our schools and they don't belong in Washington lobbying. Do you really want teachers unions dictating policies that only inflame an already out of control education crisis? You probably do. UPS being unionized doesn't even qualify as being an apples to apples comparison in this discussion. So I won't waste my time on that. Unions simply don't belong in every single sector of our workforce. And they definitely don't belong in specific industries. Particularly when their activity could hurt the general public. But again......I vote for what's better for our country as a whole. Not selfishly for my union and job. The latter tends to be a liberal trait. [/QUOTE]
