Columbus Teacher on SB5: “If you’re going to hang me, at least let me properly tie the noose”
As Brian reported on Friday, SB5 is scheduled for amendments and a possible committee vote in the House on Tuesday. We don’t have a list of the proposed amendments yet – most likely there will be some kind of concessions to the police and fire unions and a reworking of the binding arbitration replacement proposed in the senate bill – but I can guarantee you this: teacher will still be getting screwed in this bill.

John Kasich promised “to break the backs of organized labor in the schools” during the campaign. And so far he’s doing his damnedest to keep that promise.

1. What do these union busters think they are going to gain once they bust the unions?
Has anyone asked them that question ?

2. Give the schools to their buddies
so they can make money off of the taxpayers
The costs will not go down.
Either the schools will be destroyed or they will come back in a couple of years and ask for more money
Either way the owners will make money

6. But would they admit that?
I want them to tell us NOW what they think this will accomplish.

Step on up, tell us why you think busting unions is the right thing to do.

7. Follow the money and that will tell you everything you need to know
Don't hold your breath waiting for them to tell anyone what their goals are

8. Capitalism
They want so bad for Friedman to be right and Keynes to be wrong. They are making their move and going all in. We all just happen to be in their path and soon to be in their wake of their Billion dollar schemes.
