64. We do need Unions now
because people have so little ancillary support.

Unfortunately, teachers all have advanced degrees and so they can make a union work.

Remember, teachers have unions because the gov't says it can.

My father was in an education administration union and the state disbanded it.

Like it or not, our fate is tied to the gov't, which really is the people.

This subject is involved. My suggestion was that we revisit this issue and perhaps find a way to evolve our society into something better, not pull the rug out from under teachers :-)

This thread is not really the right venue for exploring other means of economic equity. My goal was really to get people to the table.
