  • Well spoken individuals especially considering the pompous and condescending line of questioning.

  • "If we don't have good pay, the kids are never going to benefit in the long-run." No...If all teachers are rewarded the same regardless of whether or not they're doing a good job, then we're not helping the kids. And when good teachers face the consequence of being ousted by teachers unions and perhaps losing their jobs when they speak out about the harm being done, then our school systems continue to be harmed and the source of harm continues to gain power.

  • Getting payed to protest

    How come I cant get payed to protest?

  • LMFAOROTFLBBQ! These people are a fucking riot.

  • Check out the awesome NYC rally this past Saturday! Search youtube:

    "NYC Rally Wisconsin Solidarity 2.26.11"

  • Let’s keep exposing the union thugs for who and what they really are, failed products of our public education system.

  • Unions built this country, not slave labor from Mexico. Next your going to have a mexican making 5$ an hour teaching you grandchildren and sending $2.50 home to Mexico. Is that what you want? Before you bash a union worker Know the real facts not what fox news tells you. You want to save money? Kick a illegal allen out of our country! They get all the free benefits that you pay for. PS the state stopped paying into the pension 15 years ago. But you think its alright to bail out a bank

  • @BR00074L LOL XD You people are not only ignorant... you are also prejudiced! Thank You for enlightening me on Union ways.

  • Seems like a large segment of our populace has no idea what our rights really are! Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and those outlined in the Bill of Rights. No one has been granted the "right to collectively bargain".

  • @ramv36 Absolutely. And when something like collective bargaining is abused---the way that it's often abused in teachers unions--then it must be addressed.

  • We are seeing a trend in America of eroding rights and freedoms. As it is, our freedom of speech and protections against unreasonable searches have been and continue to be curtailed by the ridiculous Patriot Act. We do not live in East Germany. We should always fight for the rights that have been so hard-won over the past centuries in this country, whether they're bargaining rights or civil liberties.

  • @dntaub Collective Bargaining is no more an enumerated right than the right to cable tv and a well paying job. Those are wants, not rights. Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the Bill of Rights are ALL that are guaranteed in the US. If you'll notice, not even happiness is guaranteed, only having the chance to pursue it. I've never understood unions: How do you dupe someone, especially the educated, into PAYING some else so they can work? You're paying for your own slavery!

  • The fact that governors refuse to acknowledge the huge amounts of good that unions have done over the years is astounding. How dare these governors try to take away union collective bargaining rights when corporations are now allowed to contribute massively to political campaigns. That judicial decision was a true case of judicial activism. Never in American history have corporations been considered "persons."

  • @dntaub They've nearly always been considered 'persons". Corporations even get their own Social Security Number (EINs).

  • The Cartel likes power, don't they?

  • Wake up, Americans. You have literally allowed these people to shape the future of your nation!

  • Why is it that with such great Teachers as they say they are, 67% of 8th graders can't understand English???

  • scary to think these are the people that are teaching the kids of the future. what happened people that used to be teachers the caring ones??

  • KILL ALL PUBLIC UNIONS AND STARVE THE DEMS OF TAXPAYER FUNDED SLUSH FUNDS

  • So they are saying if they don't get more money when they want that their brains to teach just disappear ?

  • People deserve to collectively bargain whether they want to or not, but please don't make a comparison between the rights you are fighting for and the rights of the people getting shot and killed in Libya.

  • By "equality" and "rights" they mean they are entitled to have their bloated pay and benefits funded regardless of the economic situation the rest of us are in, even if it means passing on debt to future generations. This minority entitlement class does not represent the real middle class of America. Seeing these idiots on parade should motivate parents to look for other alternatives.

  • Wrong, the unions' protests are inspired by Greece. Especially since the unions are hellbent on cornholing the taxpayers at all costs.

    It time to wake up liberals, we're broke and are not paying inflated prices for government services anymore.

  • Tards on parade. Free speech is wasted on these nitwits.

  • Union rats along with democrats and progressives are the enemy within. They are the enemies of freedom, liberty, constitution and country. We better organize against these low life rats before the last bastion and hope for freedom is brought down by these socialist seditious traitors. They are THE ENEMY WITHIN.

  • Fuck the UNIONS

  • Fire them all, these idiots (a.k.a. teachers) are worthless. Government-run education is a disaster. These delusional morons are polluting the minds of our youth - no wonder our country is falling apart, they're at the root of our problem.

  • they all should be fired and most likely will be without union protection

  • What a bunch of drama queens. Lighten up folks. Do like the rest of us do and work hard for your living and for advancement of your career. You are entitled to nothing in this life.

  • With all this hateful rhetoric and violent language and symbols such as the clenched fist, the next time some leader gets shot or hurt, we will automatically know--the second it happens, regardless of who it is or how mentally stable they are--that the radical left is to blame. It's only fair after conservatives took the hit for what happened in AZ even though the right had absolutely nothing to do with it, right?

  • Their protests and whining and crying and not working and leaving classrooms empty gives great fuel to the argument against collective bargaining and teacher unions.

  • when you win the lottery, they pay you an annuity. I wish someone would calculate the lump sum equivalent of the annuities these looters get when they retire after years of bellyaching and agitating... I am betting none of these guys think of themselves as the equivalent of million dollar lottery winners. Most of them, we'd probably save money by just giving a million dollars, lump sum.

  • Meet Frank. He's on social security, and has watched as his 401k next egg has dwindled, meanwhile he pays ever higher property taxes.

    Now meet Ivan. He gets a pension for life when he retires. When asked to pay something towards it, he calls the guy who asks for that concessions the equivalent of a guy who dropped bombs on his own people.

    Ivan thinks Frank is a terrorist for voting for Christie.

  • I would say to that last "Yes they have" woman that indeed they have. That is, the children have definitely benefitted from her absence. As a matter of fact, the children would benefit most if those protesters never set foot in a classroom again. I rather doubt that these lazy fist-pumping Bolsheviks ever spent much time teaching reading, writing and 'rithmetic in the first place.

    Just check the literacy rates among public school kids.

  • The distinction between the productive class and the unproductive class is becoming more plain every day. Guess which class the union goons belong to?

  • Morons and freeloaders. Unions suck.

  • These people are morons. Eugene Debs is spinning in his grave.

  • Nobody in this State can remember that Corzine bribed Karla Katz with MILLIONS OF $'S , negotiated behind even her own workers backs by trying to keep her emails with Corzine "PRIVATE", and they live in the same apt building in Hoboken. Now THAT was some "collective bargaining". was it not? Tell us, how does a Gov of a State&the leader of a 10,000 strong Union keep things private?

    it is absolutely the craziest thing I ever saw in my life.

  • I love the "it's about the kids" line. Is it just me or do I hear "It would be a shame if something might happen to lower the standard of the already substandard education we public school teachers (not all, but I think we've all seen the scores and the goons on this clip definitely fit in the category of giving a substandard education as evidenced by what entitled, greedy pig, idiots they are) are giving your kids-NOW PAY US WHAT WE WANT!"

  • According to unions the middle class is only 12% of the population.

  • One day you lose your collective bargaining, the next you are shot on the streets. That's just the way it goes I guess. CRY ME A RIVER! Do any one of these morons go home and realize what a moron they are. I LAMENT that these people are teaching our children. And to these idiots I have a newsflash-you have no right to collectively bargain! You are just seeing your little, paid for by we the taxpayer, perks slipping away. Oh, you can get fired now? BOOHOO! Welcome to the real world!

  • Looking sense inside of a Marxists mind is like looking for 2 moons orbiting the Earth.

  • What a bunch of idiots....

  • I am glad these teachers are taking the day off to protest. Now maybe the kids may actually get some quality education.

  • I'm honestly glad how many people on youtube realize what a scam these public unions are and how they are shaking down the taxpayer for more money.

  • Hey you lady with the fist... what about we contract out all this work to private business and you can do whatever you like with your fist.

  • You know... if Public school teachers are so great, why are public schools such a mess ? Shootings, Gangs, Weapons, Rape...all across the board. Not to mention how this nation turns out the lowest test scores world~wide. Why are we supporting these people ? In other jobs you get fired for poor performance... not these people, they get more benefits. . . W H Y ?

  • @ROCKnJUSA

    Agree. That is why I pay $4,000.00 a year fro my daughter to go to a private school, plus I feel better knowing that my money is not going to a union goon.

  • @2purple79

    Your a good person for doing that I wish to god my parents had done that instead all of us Conservatives who went to my school were harrassed by the teachers.

  • @CubsFanJohn

    LOL I hear ya. I live in Chicago and my Parents were conservatives. They couldn't afford to send me to a private school. They wanted to but couldn't. I was edubacated in the Chicago Public schools. LOL. Once I graduated I learned myself joined the Navy. Trust me the CPS sucks. I thank God everyday I can send my daughter to a private school.

  • @CubsFanJohn

    and yeah I was harassed by teachers but I gave it back to them with facts and they hated me for it! LOL

  • I say let all the unions protest. Their greed and stupidity makes them look worse. No one is buying into their "rights".

  • Unions are destroying the middle class Unions= Wall street greed.

  • What is with the unions about "rights" Collective Bargaining and Entitlements? Those are not rights. We have the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. I don't want to pay for unions and that should be my right.

  • The uneducated moral relativists who see no issue comparing a duly elected political figure to a dictator are the ones to be afraid of if violence ever erupts in the streets. They'll harm anyone as long as they feel that it is consistent with their worldview.

  • this is why i work two jobs to let my kids have a catholic education.

  • @TrowaAllelujah

    I agree. That is why my daughter goes to a private school.

  • STATE EMPLOYEES SHOULD NOT BE OBESE.

  • not making any comment on the rally or who is right or wrong,,,,but the teachers sound really stupid. "stupid" as in "uneducated stupid". if i knew my kids were being taught by these people, i would move, probably out of state.

  • These teachers are idiots! They should all be fired

  • What a bunch of uneducated morons

  • People are waking up to Union greed.  Those of us in the private sector know this for what it is. Pure greed and trying to get something for nothing.

  • THEY TOOK OUR JOBS!

  • Public Unions are SO expense for the job they do . Taxpayers have familys and must save for retirement also . "Worst Part", Public supports the Demorats and buys the next elected official that is needed for the cause of PU'S . Greed and Corruption all under one roof . We are so lucky !!! NOT . 

  • Public Unions are the "enemies within"

  • Wow. -- Get a clue, Bubba -- Unions are destroying America.

    Personally, I don't need a union to support me and get me a job and insanely good benefits. I am good at what I do and get paid well to do it so the market bares the cost of my salary.

    Anyone who works in a union deserves what they get from here on out -- an orange jump-suit with a live-in significant other. That goes for the TSA rats too who couldn't get a job in the real world if their life depended on it.

  • i know it's un-PC to say this but i think teachers should be paid as well as doctors and lawyers. they are doing God's work.

    in Christ,

    amitbarfs

  • The decades of being suckled on other people's money have really addled these people's brains.

  • Stupidity of Democrats and union members knows no bounds. No wonder these morons need to work for the government. They are too stupid to ever work in the private sector.

  • miazagora: actually, the unions of yesterday DID bring you days off, an end to child labor, a 40-hour work week, a minimum wage, and all sorts of other privileges you now take for granted. Whether the unions of today compare favorably to the unions of yesterday is another question entirely.

  • Comment removed

  • As Napoleon once said: "Never interfere with an enemy when he is making a mistake"...

    If the unions want to compare Christie to Qadaffi, let 'em do it...and make sure the citizens of New Jersey see it...

  • The talking points that unions are somehow the "backbone" of the country, and that we wouldn't have days off without them, and they ended child labor, and all of the other BS they try to throw out there just IS NOT TRUE!

  • Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest !

    These liberal union assholes are not only stupid.... but they are going to bury themselves.

    the union members are low rent idiots who can’t make it on their own. They join unions because that is easier than actually working for something.

    Everyone knows that unions are a blight on this country. Everyone knows these idiots can’t compete on a level playing field. The only thing they are good at is protesting because it doesn’t require any work or thinking.

  • So called "collective bargaining" is not a right and the privilege has been abused by unions, so they can all take a hike. There are eager, talented, willing college graduates that can get a job that would GLADLY take their place. Fire them all and bring in the fresh, non-unionized teachers. 

  • Christie was elected. Nobody has been killed. Fighting for their rights? Really?

    The only ones destroying America are the left wing union fat cats, who happily take the money of the workers, but, once the workers are in trouble, they'll piss on the workers.

    And yes, there it is, the angry fist. Anger, violence, threats. These jackasses wouldn't survive a week in the real world.

    If I was in the US, I would homeschool my kids.

  • I'm sure these people have a nitch in the 21st century economy. Not sure its as a teacher.

  • THEY TOOK OUR JOBS!

  • Can Anyone State How Public Sector Unions Are Good For Tax Payers?

  • So what these street garbage lefties are saying,I guess,is that Cristie should be replaced by some sort of military junta or what?

  • Public Employees do not = The Middle Class.

    Public Employees should have NO right to collectively bargain. Period.

    They work for the Government. How much more gold-plating and feather-bedding do they need?

    Sorry but it is NOT the same as private sector unions. And nobody is talking about denying private sector unions anything.

    Just the people who work FOR THE TAXPAYERS.

  • This is enough to make me want to homeschool... They seem to articulate well enough but the actual things the believe are... are... we need a stronger word than moronic.

  • Fire ALL of them. Every one.

  • Some of these folks are clearly cognitively impaired and would starve in a free market, but lots of them are articulate, seem intelligent, and clearly don't realize that their total compensation would RISE if their less-competent coworkers could be culled from the herd and their individual achievements could be quantified and rewarded. THIS is the biggest educational failure I can think of. These are the people we should be able to get through to.

  • Uh,yeah. You public unionists are paid with OUR taxes -- how is it fair that my taxes fund your salaries, pensions, "personal days" and health care? Idiots. Game's over, socialists.

  • @OmahaNan The same way that it's fair that your taxes go to pay for wars you don't support. Taxes are the price for living in a free society. Once the tax is levied, it ain't your money anymore. Get over it.

  • This isn't Libya, it's Greece.

  • with teachers like this, people who actually want to give their kids an education will be forced to seek it privately. Which means paying twice for their kid's education. Once for state education, which is worthless and unusable, and once for real, private education.

  • That's pathetic .

  • Whiskey Tango.....

    Seriously, they walk among us, they drive on our roads, they vote and THEY REPRODUCE!!

    We are truly screwed!

  • These people need to get over themselves. Equality? That's a laugh.

  • Clearly they've been briefed on what to say when questioned about their RIDICULOUS analogies! Losers.

  • Morons explaining themselves. What could go wrong?

  • Parasites.

  • These people are absolutely sick and should be ashamed of themselves. Home schooling never looked so attractive.
