CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) - The United Educators of San Francisco have raised more than $11,000 to buy a pizza for the teachers striking at the West Virginia Capitol building.
Husson's Pizza confirms to 13 News that an order from San Francisco of 500 pizzas is being given to teachers by the slice at the Capitol this afternoon.
Nick Husson himself is at the capitol to hand the slices of pizza out.
The GoFundMe was started by Lita Blanc, the President of the UESF, and has raised more than $11,004 in 22 hours.
The description for the GoFundMe says:

Crumbs?
A fool and his money are easily parted.
And the children in San Francisco are starving to death!
The horror.....the horror.....
State with the highest percentage of obese folks. Pizza works.
Those teachers were given a raise. Especially this late in the school year, they are doing irreparable damage to academic achievement this year. This is exactly what liberals did in the takeover of the Senate seat in Alabama....they ginned up a liberal segment of the population to take down established politicians and policies.
Do Republicans seriously not see that this is a (not so) Civil War?
My advice to a West Virginia teacher who is unhappy with their pay is to get another job.
Just the American ones. The illegals are being taken care of.
With WV teachers averaging $45K in a state with an average household income of $39k, they are making far, far more than the families of the kids they are teaching. A married couple, both teachers would average $90K. And at 41st out of 50 states in K-12 school performance, they are doing a pretty poor job, but a bit better than the CA teachers sending the pizzas (44th). Meanwhile, WV is ranked 21st of 50 in spending per pupil. The WV legislature should pass raises that are tied to performance, with no raise until significant improvements are made.
Let’s feed the illegals to the starving West Virginia kids.
Ah, a modest proposal, updated.
Are John and Tony Podesta delivering those pizzas?
Your tax and dues money at work
Oh that’s right all their Union dues went to the Demonut Party
My state had much the same problem, teachers complaining about lousy pay. So, I did some research.
Set aside all the arguments - "They only work 9 months a year." "great benefits" "etc". I was only interested in raises, because THAT'S what everyone said that they needed.
IMO, raises were lousy. The pay difference between a new hire, and a 20-year teacher, wasn't much.
However - and you knew that a however was coming - The pay scale is public knowledge. You could easily look it up, and say, "OK, if I start teaching, my salary will be X. After 10 years, it will be X + a percentage. If I get such-and-such a certificate, and a degree, it goes up another specific percentage."
No secrets and no surprises. 5 minutes worth of online looking will tell a prospective teacher *exactly* what they'll be making, and when, and how to increase it if they so desire. If they don't like the plainly spelled out roadmap, then they need to work elsewhere. I'd no idea what they were complaining about - it was all right in front of them, right from the start of their college career.
Wish that I had it mapped out like that in the private sector, would help me make plenty of decisions. "Gee, WBill, you're getting a 3% raise when you get your MBA. Is it worth going 60K into debt?" Nope, I gotta roll the dice, just like all the other schmoes in the private sector.
Da*ned empty-headed union drones!
My wife was a teacher. My son is a coach./teacher. They elected to sign up at the going rate. They did not have to sign the contract. They signed. SHUT UP!! with this “more money” crap. Just go start a business or get a 12 month job. Any teacher who strikes should be fired forthwith!!
Wouldn’t eat them - who knows where those pizzas have been?
