I wouldn't put cops and firefighters on the same level as teachers. Teachers should be way above in the pecking order. Teachers have it worse and do more for the society at large.
So a teacher in a safe, cookie cutter, suburban school district is above the level of a cop working in dangerous, gang/crime/drug infested inner cities?

But I just wanted to know why not break up cop unions first? They retire with obscene pensions. Nothing that a lowly teacher would ever see money wise.
So, basically, the greedy teachers' unions are calling in sick so they can protest at a political rally, leaving the kids twisting in the wind. Some Milwaukee schools are closed today, and for the second day in a row, some schools are closed in Madison. I also heard that one of the universities is having a staff walkout later today...if I was a student there, I would be PO-ed due to having to pay tuition just to have the teacher not show up to make a point.
When did teachers become so greedy that they put their pay and benefits ahead of teaching students? This is a great argument for why 1) public sector employees should not be allowed to form unions and collectively bargain, 2) public schools cannot possibly provide the best education, at least if unions are as controlling as they are here, 3) unions should not be allowed for the "caring professions" like teachers and healthcare workers b/c it's a conflict of interest. It used to be that you take a public sector job or job in a "caring field" BECAUSE YOU CARE about what you're doing (teaching kids, stopping child abuse, helping the elderly, caring for sick people, etc.), not b/c you can make good money at it.
I would have put this in the WI subforum but this is making national news (it was on Fox this morning) and besides, it's an issue that could affect more than just WI if other states/unions follow suit.
And the war between the productive and parasite classes escalates. The teachers and their filthy, greedy, good-for-nothing union, are the parasites, and the good people of Wisconsin, who make all that cheese for us, are the productive class, not that it needed pointing out.
Yes, he productive class are busy, well, being productive, while that parasite class steal the taxpayers money playing hookie on company time in order to demonstrate to the world just how filthy and greedy they, the parasite class union scum, are.
