They’re helping us shut down public government schools; what many have asked for. Let schools go private. Private schools do so much better and I bet President Trump will let the people use the money they’ve been paying for horrible schools back to the parents so they can chose they’re own school. He should hold out until all teachers nationwide picket.
Worst part is most of the school tax money doesn’t go for salaries and infrastructure. Oh, no. It goes for pensions and insanely generous health bennies.
Sure it is. The reason is that your benefits will likely exceed anything you've ever paid into the system so the only way not to fleece everyone else(i.e. not fair to them) is to hold down costs by means testing the benefits.
I don't understand why all defined benefit plans aren't means tested.
If they did this, among other things, all those double and triple dippers would have no motive to get those benefits
Not in Georgia. Those are illegal in this state.
Hopefully you are not in the Peoples Republic of Lewisburg, WV. We moved from there to urban Upstate South Carolina but have found that the progressive mind set is now likely found everywhere in local and state government. I guess running is no longer an option, the opposition must be confronted.
“Not in Georgia. Those are illegal in this state.”
Since when? My friend was training to become a teacher, and had to join the teacher’s union. No choice for public school teachers. He teaches at a private school now. I guess things could have changed in the last few years, and GA is a right to work state, but there is some union activity here.
Welcome to the real world. I’m sorry to hear they were able to brainwash you. You have my condolences.
Sad to hear. We’re near Parkersburg.
I am a teacher in Georgia. The union has few members because it is not mandatory. I know nobody that joined. They have no power to call a strike, or anything else.
I’m thinking the Ohio mind rot is seeping across the river. We need to move farther south.

Yes, people are talking about this current phenomena. Liberal socialists are trashers, they destroy there local environs, then move to conservative locales to destroy those sites as well. They ooze out from large metropolitan areas like D.C. to West Virginia and bring their destructive ideologies and liberal mindsets with them. This suggests there will soon be no place left in the U.S where their influence is not felt.
““What are they going to do, fire 15,000 people?” Lee rhetorically“
Do it day one.

In Georgia, a teacher is a hostage of the administration.
“I believe that something has to be available to protect all school employees.”
Protect you from what, exactly?
“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.”
Boo fricking hoo. Try the private sector during a merger or acquisition or new management.
“That’s a lousy way to run a school.”
CPS can’t fire a teacher and look at them. One of the worst performing school districts in the country.
“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.”
Yep, you’re a teacher. And you have no idea just how stupid you sound. None.

Everybody’s benefits are affected by their family’s benefits. It’s to prevent double dipping the overworked ObamaCare™ system.
It is Obama’s fault
He killed coal and coal pays the teachers
The strike is about hope, hope they can win the coming elections
A school named after KKK Robert Byrd.
Lovely.
I’m married to a retired administrator who attempted to rid the district of a certain individual.
I have never seen such a “protected” class as teachers.
“I have never seen such a “protected” class as teachers.”
And the incessant whining they do is maddening.

agreed - Calvin Coolidge was correct when he broke the gov’t unions in Boston.
