Yes, that's exactly what Gov. Justice should do. There should be absolutely no government sector unions, period.
“What are they going to do, fire 15,000 people?”
That’s the attitude the Air Traffic Controllers Union had under Reagan. His firing of them anyway shaped the greatness of his presidency, and his resolute response gave pause to the Soviets.
DO IT, Governor. Trump will have your back. There are a LOT of qualified teachers across the country, who would love to teach in school systems which are 93% white.

You are right, take the Reagan air traffic controller approach. Fire the whole lot of them and hire non-union teachers who respect law and order and who are patriotic Americans.
Schools no longer teach - they preach.
They teach hatred of: Whites, men, straights, wealthy people and deify anti-societal persons and behaviors.
Education bleeds a state financially and harms its children - FIRE 'EM ALL!

I retired from the public school system in Illinois seven years ago. I have never been a big union guy, but after nearly 30 years in the system, I believe that something has to be available to protect all school employees.
Every time a Superintendent, principal or even a department chair is changed in a PS district, peoples heads roll simply to accommodate the new executive's personnel wishes.
That's a lousy way to run a school.
I can appreciate a lot of the complaining centered around union protection of poor performance and incompetence, but for entire schools or departments being turned over because a new Superintendent or Physical Plant Director wants "his people" working for him isn't the way to go.
The way these "Executives" move around, a career teacher or other regular employee would have little chance of completing a career in any public school today.
agreed - Calvin Coolidge was correct when he broke the gov’t unions in Boston.
