This is just part of the story. The union custodians did not complain about the tree at the school the dead boy attended. It was the additional landscaping at the High School and the School Board that they didn't agree with.
Imagine how much money they could refund to the taxpayers if the students did the landscaping at the high schools as part of an earth science course.
It was the additional landscaping at the High School and the School Board that they didn't agree with. Yeah. They have a RIGHT to be overpaid for overtime for a job that kids are willing to do for free.
Of course, they didn't complain while it happend. If so, they might have actually have had to get off their fat lazy asses and do the work themselves. By waiting until later to complain, they have the prospect of getting paid for doing nothing, and getting patted on the back from their fellow union goons for a job well done.
