Police, United states postal workers and Teachers are hard to fire. Why? They have UNIONS.

Even when teachers have known to committed sex acts against children they may only get a slap in the hand. As the case of the teacher who had sex with her student the JUDGE if you can call him that did not give her jail time because she was to pretty to be put in Jail.
Unions are the key to keeping your job.

No thanks, I already have enough money taken out of my check. I don't want to pay another "fee" to some organization.

There's a lot of things tenured teachers "get away with" but for the most part I don't think having sex with students is one of them. Even with tenure there are limits (perhaps as other examples, theft, racist remarks, sexual harassment at a level below actual intercourse, etc.).

And can you give the example where the judge said she was "too pretty to be in jail?". Sounds fabricated to me and that the judge would be censured for it.

Not true if you're working for a state with a balanced budget amendment.

They tried to protect their jobs but the public was "outraged" at the way they went about it - the job bank - and unfortunately the companies chose to pay two people to build the cars (one in mexico or china and one to sit on their butts in the States). It was only a matter of time before they broke the union.
