Yes. It will.

Public unions do no good. None. Zip. Zero. Zilch.

The union contract is what makes it IMPOSSIBLE to fire someone. This isn't good for the kids, the school system or the union. The union knows that this person is giving them a bad name. They should have some way of getting rid of them


We agree! The union should can the creeps.

How many were done by PUBLIC unions? I think we all agree that unions in private industry have had beneficial impacts on our society. Many of us have issues with PUBLIC unions. Heck, when unions were legalized they specifically wanted to avoid public unions because of the inherent conflict of interest that occurs.

I have no problem with children working. In fact, IMO, what's wrong with today's youth is that they DONT work.

I don't think I've ever had a job where I only worked 8 hrs a day/ 40hrs/week, and got paid overtime. So that all depends on the job

I've worked a ****load of weekends too. In fact, in a former life, I NEVER had a weekend off. So, depends on the job.



Health insurance should NOT be tied to one's job. It's one of the biggest ****ing mistakes we've made regarding health stuff.



Yeah, which really sucks actually. Employer's should be free to hire and fire whomever they want for whatever reason they want. All that act did is take away rights from employers.



Which should be abolished.

As for the rest of it,(some of which is debatable as to its value too) was it PUBLIC unions that did that? I think not.

The union is preventing someone from being fired when his employer wishes him to stop working there. It's up to the ****ing employer who they want to hire/fire.

Quote:

Teaching is not the same a flipping burgers, delivering pizza, or ringing up groceries at the local store. It takes an expensive education and a LOT of dedication. Without some assurances of salary and security, you can kiss good teachers goodby.

When you promise salary and security to anyone and everyone, no matter how ****ing terrible they are, you can kiss good teachers goodbye.

Quote:

This year 49.3 percent of students going on to college need remediation classes. 49.3 percent! And those are just the kids who are going on to college. We have high school graduates here who speak as if they were 'raised in the hills by Uncle Bubba' and can't do simple math without a calculator. We need better, more dedicated teachers. But with our teachers union, we're not going to get them.

No, you're not going to get good teachers with a teacher's union. You're correct.

Yes, wouldn't society be wonderful if your employer could fire you for no reason. After all, management has ALWAYS had the employees best interests at heart and there is no such thing as corporate greed.

That's why Wal Mart, the worlds biggest employer, puts its employees before obscene profits. That's why they all get a decent wage, benefits and can live the American Dream.

That's why America is still #1 in production. American companies would never consider sending jobs overseas where they can pay the employees crap in order to make millions for owners.


I have three words for you. Triangle Shirtwaist Factory!
