Subject: Re: A Union Job In A Red State!?

The problem is some unions prevent the firing of marginal employees by establish an endless chain of appeals

I've heard it all.

hen there are unions who move beyond working conditions for member and want to start running the company. Example the NEA moved beyond working conditions for teachers and inserted itself into setting educational policy. The Chicago teachers union went even further with their new contract demands to set political policies outside the boundaries of education, eg divesting from Israel or promoting UBI.

I actually don't think there's anything wrong with teachers having a say in educational policy, but I think the teacher's should vote if they want to get involved on that. If the teachers have a vote on divesting from Israel, etc.,, and know the impact, that's up to them. Europe seems to do well with Unions so we should look at their practices.
