It's nothing personal, teachers.. It's just your "turn" [View All]

Union-busting simply MUST happen, in order to drive wages down.

Steelworkers found this out, when steel mills were closed down, in favor of cheap foreign imported steel...made with slave-labor abroad

Autoworkers found this out, when plants were closed down up north, and sent "down south", where eager, unemployed people would work for a lot less..and where states were eager to rape their own taxpayers-base to provide free-nearly free land, roads, utility-hook ups

Mill-workers found this out, when textile moguls closed down the mills, in favor of cheap cotton-goods made in India (or other "low-cost" producers)

Garment-workers found this out, when factories were shut down, in favor of millions of cheap-fingers across the globe, busily sewing stuff for pennies a day..and those closed-down shops,. make such fantastic multi-million dollar lofts, don't they?

Grocery workers found this out, as walmart slithered its way across the US, undercutting "name-brand" grocery chains who still paid union ages, but could not compete with walmart and the other chain stores.. they are almost gone now... their employees may still be "around", but most are no longer working..(for union wages, anyway)

and now it's the teachers' turn..

The powers-that-be just don't think you are a valuable asset, and since most of their kids go to private academies, they just can't see "wasting" all that precious money on union teachers, who are hard to fire..

"Big Bidness" just cannot allow a penny more in wages, than is absolutely "necessary"..and THEY get to decide what's necessary. If what you do cannot be "off-shored". they must be sure that there is a big enough unemployed-labor" base to fight tooth-and-nail for the few jobs offered. People will work for low wages, if the only other choice is NO wages..

It's all part of the cycle.. the plan, to get rid of unions...
