Thanks to my Union

Unions are sort of a necessary evil in the world of education. I appreciate that the union seeks the best possible pay and benefits for me and my fellow educators. But, what they do with my dues greatly concerns me. For example they give large sums of money to a group that seek homosexual rights. No problem. Except I have never in 21 years seen these people in support of teachers. I have never heard from them in support of teachers politically. To me, it is just money to keep them from hassling us.

They are also a great guide for me when I vote. Whatever my union recommends, I vote the opposite. Since most unions make no pretense of being open minded or neutral it makes it easy for me.

Thanks.
