Does seem pretty simple, doesn’t it. At least, it would be in a nation of laws, not men.
—”We live in a free country. People can make their choice.”—
And with freedom comes responsibilty and consequences. Yep, they are free to defy the judge, and reap the rewards/consequences of the action.
Is the district free to fire them since they refuse to go back to work? The air traffic controller’s strike comes to mind.
Obama was talking about all the out of work teachers in his "Jobs Infomercial". Seems like if that is the case, these striking teachers would be very easy to replace with teachers that would be willing to work for a much lower salary and fewer benefits. At least that's the way it would work in the business world...
“People can make their choice.” Yep, the choice is to have a job or not.
"It's really for the chi'runs."
Exactly so. But, Tacoma and western Washington as well, is lib central so screw them all.
Fine them? Just a slap on the wrist? Close that Union and throw them out and hire people who want to teach! These people don't deserve the jobs.
FIRE THEM!
good grief! what is so hard about this? FIRE THEM ALL and you’ll have 10000000000 waiting in line to take their spots the next day!
I wouldn’t start by firing them, but by fining their union a daily fine until it obeys. Remember that rank and file have little say about what the union bosses choose to do. But if the union bosses tell them to strike and they refuse, they *will* be punished.
So the solution is fines. And if the union refuses to pay those fines, it is contempt of court, and the union’s officers can be put in jail, as well as placing union property in receivership.
They’re only making $64,000 for 9 months work.
Libloather,
I agree with you completely. Do you think, as I do, that unions are basically legal extortion entities? They exist solely as a means to ensure that none of their members can be fired, no matter how incompetent or unproductive they are.
My brother works in the manufacturing industry, the flagship US manufacturing equipment company, actually, and says that unions basically have a stranglehold on most of their attempts to improve production of new products. Unions should be, if not illegal, as he says, but voluntary. I think illegal, but would the left ever consider it, with billions of dollars of bribe money (campaign contributions) at stake?
Lazy, good for nothing, socialist teachers and the union can all go to Hell. Fire ‘em all! Of course, government schools themselves are nothing but left wing propaganda factories, so maybe its a blessing for the kids to be missing out on their “classes”. All they learn is global warming and Johnny has 2 daddies anyway. Government schools should all be shut down.
What they’re doing is illegal. Fire them all and start over.
Then haul them all into court and fine each one for contempt.
I'm a public school teacher in AZ - I agree with you - fire them all and start over. What a bunch of useless idiots who can't think for themselves. I do NOT belong to the union here nor will I ever.
What would be great is if parents got a taste of home schooling’s success and mutual benefits with their children.
Go PATCO on ‘em!!! There are plenty of unemployed teachers ready to pick up the slack. And maybe a state law that an illegal strike automatically terminates tenure would get their attention.
