You think they are fired AHAHAHAHAAH oh sweet summer child, you need to get out in the world.

People don’t realize that without teachers unions, school’s all over the country would be subject to the same political games that happen to city hall employees everytime a new mayor comes in.

i love it when ppl side with capital vs labor. I worked in hotel unions in NY for years and believe me i saw a lot of shady union stuff too. However, i can guarantee you that the shady capital stuff >>>> shady union stuff. You sound like you favor comforting the comfortable.

She gets paid plenty, believe me.

aww how cute that you think these people do not deserve to be paid like they are. Who are you again? What gives you the right to determine what these people make? i am sure any number of people could look at you and say that you don’t deserve to make what you do.

I used to work at a major university, and I used to be represented by one of those unions. I now work as an RN, and I’ve worked in a non-union hospital, and then a union one. Not all unions are AFSCME/clerical unions. My experience at the University was that people who were decent were on the bottom end of the totem…

Yes it is.

You can literally fire someone in “At-Will” states for any reason as long as they aren’t for reasons of discrimination or retaliation. But that said, it’s easy in “at-will” employment for people to discriminate without stating it as the reason.

My wife was fired for “not being a team player” but they fucked…

If your wife runs an Astrophysics department at a major university, then she has the biggest union perk of all - tenure. Sounds like you’re in a glass house and maybe you might re-think those stones.

a side effect of it is that it allows union employees to be protected from... actions that, in any other non union job, they’d be fired for.

I hear the same thing about teacher’s unions all the time. LAZY TEACHER’S CAN’T BE FIRED.

When, yes they can, and they clearly are. It’s just instead of suddenly you have to document why you are firing them and show evidence that they are bad at their jobs.

And yes, unions protect bad employees too. It’s their job. If…

Let me guess: you’re one of those people who thinks that a $15 minimum wage is waaaaaay too much.

This is literally one of like 4 right wing talking points about unions. It’s nearly a 90s chain email claim of cliches.

YA BUT DETROIT. CHECK MATE LIBTARD.

-Every single right winger.

Hence, the imperative to join a union. It’s not that they’re getting paid too much. It’s that your wife isn’t getting paid enough.

Sounds like your wife should join the union.

I’ve been part of 4 union organizing campaigns in my time as a union officer. Only one of those times was the union recognized without an NLRB vote. Even people I’d thought friends for over a decade went to war over it. They usually blame lawyers, but in my experience the problem is that they think an organizing drive…

It’s true, the Russians turned Americans against each other. Now white Americans are actually mistreating minorities. That’s never happened before!

Kind of surprised a card-carrying Objectivist hasn’t given you the “well, actually” yet.
