1- nope, workingWere you just napping?
Whats taking so long?
Are you sure thats how you do it?
How much did you drink at lunch?
How much stuff did you take home from work for free last year?
Boxers or briefs?
How many holidays do you get a year?
Elaborate.
I think you answered your own questionI ask this. In Wisconsin benefits will get cut, and salary increases will never happen (hey, what tax payer in his right mind will vote for workers to get raises? really?) How are they going to attract valuable employees like me?
Let individuals bargain for their salaries based on their performance.The Union...the same Union I hate for protecting useless workers that should be fired

Let individuals bargain for their salaries based on their performance.
again, we're talking about public sector unions, which even FDR was opposed to.
just like any other job? based off their credentials and negotiated with the dept. that's hiring them. There's many ways, but the monopoly of the nea and dem party surely isn't working.How can individuals bargain salary in a public job?
I think if there was more accountability and results, ppl wouldn't mind paying teachers well. Hell, I think (as most would agree) really great teachers should get paid very well.Salary will be set on public vote, and political motivation, not individual performance. Private sector, no problem. There's a lot of politics and favoritism in civil service that has nothing to do with performance, or Unions.
nobody's saying the right to unionize should be taken away, but since almost all private sector jobs aren't unionized and are above minimum wage (over 90% in both cases iirc), I think we'd do just fine.kiff, what do you think the realistic results will be to American society if the right to Unionize were taken away? Short term, and long? Honestly curious to understand your viewpoint.
And now the unions are the greedy ones that make more than their bosses (tax payers) don't give a **** about education. This has nothing to do with corporations but you guys couldn't care less about the truth, voters/taxpayers or education
When you speak of greed, you need to differentiate between a greedy teacher whi earns $60k a year and the wall street scum who make $60M a year while the economy tanks.
Your looking in the wrong place for greed.
The average income of the top 5% of earners has increased by 50% in the past 25 years. During this same time period the average income in the US only increased by 13%.
Corporations?
Yes, now the voters/tax-payers are the evil corporations holding down the "working class"?
Oh, and btw, did you know that ~95% of nea's dues go to the Democrat party? Do you have any idea how much "stimulus" money went to them? Talk about screwing the middle class. But, hell, it's all for the kids' education...
