Jeremy Ryan once Again Reporting from Inside the Capitol... It's getting ugly...

A lot is being made of teachers having an unfair advantage in bargaining with governments because they, “vote for those with whom they are bargaining,” and because a state’s education system, “cannot go out of business like a private corporation.” Most teachers realize they are hurting their students all the while they are out of their classrooms. This, in itself, puts them at a disadvantage in bargaining situations.

If you don’t think the impact on their students is equal to wages and benefits for many, many teachers you understand very little about them. This is one of the reasons they have been willing to settle for contracts based on lower wages with future delayed benefits. They have opted not to walk off the job because of the impact on their students as much as the prospect of immediate loss of income.

What would've happened had a cardiac emergency occured and the AED was denied use? That is scary.
