For the life of me, I don't know why a person of talent would belong to a union.I'll tell you why ---> liability insurance.
The union offers a multi-million dollar policy for its members. My dad is a special education teacher, extremely talented and hard working, and a hard-core conservative. He detests the union, but he's a member because of the liability coverage. He says that's why many, if not most, teachers are in the union.

It is hard to say but he is supporting the union then. I know it is hard to resist the union thing but people have to start gettin gserious about this if ther are ever going to be changes. There are alternatives. There are other ways to get insurance. Someone posted an insurance resource for teachers on another thread. Anyone have that?
