More money for the teacher's union.
bingo!!!
The democrats get a major portion of their campaign contributions and votes via these unions in a nice little scam.
Step 1: Raise teachers salaries via the union paid for by state taxpayers. Teachers work longer = more union dues. Unions = happy. Democrats get to raise taxes = happy.
Step 2: Union raises union dues as teacher salaries increase.
Step 3: Dems make sure its required by law that teachers join union or they are fired.
Step 4: Unions take a cut of this money and heavily contribute to democratic re-election campaigns.
Step 5: Teachers told to vote democrat in elections to protect their salaries.
