My grandmother was a teacher and a union member of the united teachers union of Los Angeles, She says Regan was an evil bastard. Especially if you were a teacher in California. Of course, it depends on when you were a teacher I guess.

Would you say that you were unable to fight for yourself, or that you just liked the convenience of having someone else doing it for you?

It you cannot explain why someone would want to have other people interfering in their lives, then you will never understand why Republicans despise unions.

Yes, I know, my reading comprehension is level 17 on the Slosson Scale, but you probably wouldn't know what that is.

Well I guess so, since it puts you in a position to discriminate against blacks and minorities and deny them employment.

You seem to want to ignore the fact that Charleton Heston and other Republicans had to march with Dr. King in 1963 to help get rights for blacks who were denied entry into unions.

I don't have a supervisor.

Learn how to read. I despise unions, not the sorry bastards in them. And no, not all of my teachers were in the union. Fortunately, someone sued to bar closed union shops for teachers in Ohio. And yes, they got better pay and benefits because they weren't in the union.
