A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I bet every one of the ghouls doing this were shitkids in school and resent teachers because they tried to do their fucking jobs
I wonder if they feel the same way about police unions, or wait no I don't wonder.
They'll save them for last. The brownshirts always get what's coming.
Can't you guys just rob banks like normal crooks?
The crooks run the banks actually
The weakest union with the lowest paid members? Clearly doing the Lord's work here
I already support unions (in one) and adore teachers because I pretty much worship at the church of education. They have one of the most important jobs in society. It's kinda hard to make me more sympathetic to their plight, but hey, you did it.
WE'RE ASSEMBLING A TEAM TO TRIPLE WORLD HUNGER!! BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!!
I'd take that job and sabotage the shit out of their efforts. Anyone in the position actually get on that team should do the same.
"I love the poorly educated! " - trump
They're just so much easier to fool into voting against their own best interests
Fitting given his narcissism.
Trump is certain that he is the smartest person in the room at all times
If an elementary school teacher starts offing these people, I would not convict
I'd nullify that jury for sure.
They’ve done the decades of work to turn people against unions, convincing MAGAts that unions are proto-communist organizations that extort unfair wages though dishonest practices while sitting around not working. They have people looking over at them saying “how come you get paid so much?” Instead of “I should get paid that much too.”
People are dumb. Whatcha gonna do.
They never stop to question how successful long lasting companies that have been unionized for decades are still around
Those public school teachers have had it too good for too long.
I never understood why they burned witches but now I see how that would be a satisfying conclusion to some events.
Burn the rich, people will warm up a bit.
Why? They were well-read women, aka "woke women" so they "sent a message" (don't mess with the patriarchy). Also, King James, his Witch General Finders, and the "demonologists" were all men, and they found women an easier target to do bad things too. They argued that "their feminine wiles" misled many men; therefore, they're in cahoots with the dark side.
Are you complaining that it wouldn't be politically correct? What method of tortuous execution better fits with your morals?
same as it's ever been
Get fucking bent.
as a matter of fact he was former gay pornstar, so literally,.
They should ask Matt Bevin how things went when he tried to mess with the Kentucky teachers' unions.
Spoiler: We got Andy Beshear as governor.
(Yes, it's more nuanced than that. He was screwing with more public servants than just the teachers. But the teachers' not-legally-a-strike was highly effective, and I personally knew Republican teachers who actively campaigned against Bevin.)
That is a sack of shit in a blue coat. He can fuck right off.
Great so teachers have no support, and people wonder why we have a shortage of teachers
It's by design.
Once upon a time, the USA had a strong middle class. Billionaires got taxed heavily, and our public schools were the envy of the world. Well funded and produced a lot of great students.
But educated people are difficult to control and even harder to dupe. The GOP realized that if they can gut public education, the masses will become malleable again. Meanwhile, the children of the rich can continue to go to expensive private institutions for their own education. So the rich stay educated, and the poor's go in the gutter.
Also cutting education now has no effect for about 25 years or so(in their view. Its approximately right but not completely true...) Their short term brainrot is so bad they would abolish education entirely in a heart beat and coast on those miniscule savings for a few decades until the world rips itself apart...
Also, my pet conspiracy is they all know the world is going to devolve into chaos due to global heating and climate destabilization anyways so why should they care about education when its not going to produce anything worthwhile when the chaos hits... from what I'm seeing 2040 is where things get dicey and most things have inflected negative. 2050 is where things break down genuinely. Too many bad things happen at once...
I've already accepted that I'll join the revolution when it comes. I will gladly strive for the communist cause.
Only problem with that is that a society like that becomes very unsuccessful, lowering the standard of living for everyone, including the rich.
is this real? or just rage bait?
Actually, thank you for asking this; with so much insanity coming from this administration I accepted it as real without question. However, after some searching it's unfortunately a real Facebook post by a real asshole. (hopefully that works, Facebooks interface is such garbage)
Fuuuuuuuck that guy, holy moly!
Reminder that the Republican party are traitors to the United States of America who work tirelessly to weaken our nation and harm our populace.
And that makes anyone who still supports them traitors too. Ignorance isn't an excuse.
Smart people don't vote Republican. That is why they are destroying our educational system.
Conservatives hate teachers because teachers don’t need to work when kids aren’t in school for the summer. That’s the only complaint I’ve ever truly heard from them. Meanwhile, those same teachers are up stupid early, on time every fucking day, dealing with over-filled classes of every type of child, and then doing even more labour in the evenings as they aren’t officially given much of any time to create plans or mark work.
They also do work during the summer, making lesson plans, teaching summer school, working a second job, etc.
But if Republicans made policy decisions based on reality they wouldn't be Republicans.
My high school was union free and was the best high school because of it. Well, that and how Solvay, NY teachers have sex with students, like Ashley Ramirez, who tore my heart out for a better grade. True story.
