  • That says it all. Unions suck.

  • If the NEA are such effective advocates, their work should stand on its own merit and they shouldn't have to bully and coerce teachers into paying dues. Whether or not to join the union should be completely at the discretion of teachers and should not be made a condition of employment. Nor should benefits extended by school boards be extended only to union members. The NEA is the number one cause of failing schools across America. Declaw the NEA!

  • I was brought here by Ghost from True Capitalist Radio.

  • And they actually admitted this...screw the NEA. More people need to see this

  • The NEA is worthless

  • who is the woman at 1:12?

  • The more bail outs there is the dollar becomes worthless!!

  • NEA are just another political arm

  • @XkonastephenX Choosing to join any union should be completely at the discretion of the employee, & union bosses should not be allowed to use union dues to support politicians. Such use should either be prescribed by individual union members (both the amounts & the politicians) or, lest the union bosses be tempted to cheat, why not just bar unions from political donations & let the individual members support the politicians they want to, on their own. That sounds a lot like “freedom” to me.

  • @Conservative0patriot well said..i've worked around unions most of my life and saw firsthand the mindset of the few who ruined it for the many. Thier "untouchable" mentality. Maybe if the unions would have only weeded out their slackers then things could and would be viewed differently now.

  • @SickBoyZap5 Wrong again you NeoLiberal. We're all fighting to put back up a Republic. All I was saying (earlier post) was how unjust it was to take taxpayer dollars for undeserved/unequal excesive labor rates that requires a percentage of it back for protection from substandard performance levels. Why can't you face the fact that we have now outgrown the usefulness of unions. they are now the traitors, partly responsible for the jobs lost to overseas. Anybody rich attending public schools?
