Gotta love unions.........not.
Seriously, I think I had rather buy something foreign made than buy the equivalent USA union made product. My justification is that bho would not be president today, had not the unions supported him.
I am beginning to think unions are anti-American.
This is a vent......

be smarter.

Sounds like there are also some administrators who need to go to their own rubber room (or just plain old fired in short order)!

This brought to you by our wonderful government. The same government about to take over health care.
I am already pissed off as it is. I pay for our three children to go to parochial school and I still have to pay the stupid school tax.
This is NUTS!

i am with you...have never supported them....i think when the ideas of unions first started they were in fact for the good of the people working....i believe they lost their vision years ago though like any good idea seems to do....

Unions nearly always protect the lazy,the incompetent,and the criminal members while punishing any member who tries to do a better job than the quota minimum.I've seen it several times up close and personal in my early work days.
There's something wrong with a group whose standard greeting is "don't work too hard".

Fixed it. You are not "going to work" if you plan "to do nothing."
Sounds like the rooms at the Auto Companies where "workers" go to spend all day not working.

You're right about that.
We needn't fret about our "failing education system". It's working exactly as intended. The problem is that we're mostly ignorant of its goal. (

How parents can hate their children enough to consign them to public schooling is beyond me.

Sounds sort of like the Jobs Bank program at Government Motors. I once mentioned to my boss that I’d like to get a job like that. He replied “No you wouldn’t. You’d go crazy doing nothing quicker than anybody I know.”

Maybe we could add hardship pay on top of the job bank program pay.

And even with this story, nothing’s going to happen to any of these people.
New York is a liberal Democrat state - so the people of New York will smile and pay their taxes...
