Since this is March with several more months to go I wonder how this is going to affect teaching?
Strategy: Pick 20,000 picketers and rabble-rousers NOW, the earlier the better, with which to make mah-hem, during the campaign to pluck the taxpayers.
They do this every year. Then most if not all get rehired.
Just in time for them to join occupy wall st.
scare tactics to force taxpayers to pass a tax increase
Great CA is starting to reap the rewards of their folly.
I imagine the firefighters and policemen will get them next. Gotta get the maggots out their raising hell and demanding that “the rich” pay more “fair share” for BIG government. The “fair share” they are already paying just isn’t cutting it.
I think this is just the first step in the usual California dire consequences ploy.
Vote to raise taxes, or we’ll fire all your kids’ teachers, close all the libraries, and let 30,000 murderers and rapists out of jail, to trim expenses.
Good!
I’m sick to death of trap they laid in Kalifornia!
The easiest way to take care of this problem is to stop “educating” foreign nationals who are in the state and country illegally. Just an idea.
How many of them were administrative bureaucrats?
Democrats have been forced to cut spending. There is NO money. Why don’t the eliminate the new CA Air Resources Board? Too many bloated state agencies.
Today in Michigan, the governor signed the bill ending automatic union dues collection for teachers and school employees.
On Wednesday he signed the bill that prevents grad students working as research assistants from unionizing.

and three students in San Leandro held a weeklong hunger strike to draw attention to the cost to classrooms.
Starve you little bastards!
It is time that the teacher unions along with SEIU go on strike until the cities resind the letters and give them a 10% pay raise as an apology. Let the cities lay off the garbage men, road repair folks, and the meter readers instead.

They paid for brand new entitlement program- the Dream Act ,with their jobs!
Another summer of threats before the stupid taxpayers get ripped off again. Insanity .... doing the same thing again and again but expecting different results!
Did they say anything about support staff? Administrators, counselors, IT staff, middle management?
Of course not. For that would not resonate with taxpayers. Private industry, i.e. rational people do not do this. Look at the last layoff at say Blizzard Entertainment in Irvine. The announce 600 layoffs, but almost none of them are game developers.
These clowns could lay of 20,000 and few of them have be teachers. They could outsource janitorial and maintenance for example.
