No one is holding a gun to their heads. It is their right to work or not. If they choose not to work they should be terminated and not receive one penny of Tax Payer dollars.
PERIOD!

I am, in theory, pro-union. But yes, you are absolutely correct there. It should be handled just the way Ronald Reagan handled the air traffic controllers.
Side comment. It’s AFT President Randi Weingarten who is popping off there. It worth noting that the membership did NOT elect her, or any of the other top AFT officers. It’s all done through committees and delegates instead. For an organization that believes in democracy, their election procedures are quite Stalinist.
“Teaching,” is one of the softest rackets in the world.
Many teachers are dedicated to the profession, their students and the communities they serve.
HOWEVER, there have always been the slackers, the agenda driven, lazy louts that coast to retirement. The evil of “tenure,” makes it difficult to fire the non-producers.
Don’t feel sorry for them, they make huge salaries when reaching administration levels. This action by the teacher’s unions is sickening. Hypocrites, all.
Coaches, at University positions, are the highest government paid people in most states. That’s entertainment, not teaching.
