What a shock, a Union using its influence to provide a safe workplace for its members. What will come next? Paid sick time? Health insurance? Old age pensions? Oh the horror.

What a shock, Kevyn making a drive by posting, praising the Teachers unions. I wouldn't have believed it. I wonder if Kevyn has kids or pays property taxes ?

Unions are the scum of the earth. They destroy creative juices and, unlike Biden said, unions did not create the middle class.

If he does, they’re adopted. Two males do not a family make.

So what? Without teachers, what would be the point of sending kids to school?

Teachers unions don't care about kids and teachers that support said unions don't care. I'm s**k of these POS teachers. In Florida schools have been open without any problems. Teachers just want paid to sit on their ass and their union wants more tax payer money. The results of these shut downs to kids are way worse than the v***s is to them. If a teacher is so scared quit, or do what many have done and go too Cabo.

It's a shame that teachers have to work in an 'unsafe environment' like everyone else - from janitors to grocery clerks to factory workers and the rest of Americans.

The CDC can no longer claim that they "Follow the Science".

Lobbying the CDC should be a Capital Crime.

Pun intended.

Biden and F***i should go to the park and play checkers and at the same time give the pigeons a target.

Never fails to amaze me.. working and middleclass people expressing h**e for labor unions.. of any stripe..

what the heck do they think would have created the middle class absent the work of unions?

And yet they express unending dissatisfaction with schools in this case but never offer a single idea to make anything better..

H**e a lot, like nothing.. just be a right winger..

Because something was good in the past does not mean it is now. Unions can be compare to the horse and buggy.

I have no problem with private sector unions. Those are between the worker and management. If they price themselves out of a job that's their business. I do have a huge problem with public unions. They get to lobby and v**e for the very people who pay them with my tax payer dollars and I have no say in the matter. All that ends up doing is giving me, the consumer, worse customer service and higher costs.

" what the heck do they think would have created the middle class absent the work of unions? "

That is not true. You have to know that. There was a middle class before there was a large scale union movement. The unions were born largely because of the rapid growth in heavy industry in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Now you could make an valid argument that while the unions did not create the American Middle Class, they allowed millions of working class people to join the middle class during the late 1800s into the 1960s. You however did not make that argument, I did it for you.

To get back to your premise of unions creating the middle class. If it was true, you fail to recognize the various distinctions within the union movement. Nothing you are saying is in the least relevant to today. Nothing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Private sector unions are mere skeletons of their former obese selves. They have made their industries non competitive.

So lets us now get into the relevant part of the discussion. Public sector unions are where the money and power are. You have failed to distinguish between the public and private sectors. I believe that is a deliberate choice you are making in order to cover public sector fat cat unions in the working class heroism of the old industrial and coal miner unions.

Even within the public sector unions there are distinctions that you deliberately are failing to recognize. Police unions with the danger that their members face every day and the Democratic Party engineered abuse they currently face deserve the mantle of the old blue collar working class union heroes.

Now lets us discuss the lowest of the low, namely the big school district teachers unions. I am not bashing individuals teachers, only their fat cat rich unions. When it comes to these Democratic Party allies, we taxpayers are all MANAGEMENT. The teachers unions are against everyone of us and our children.

Case closed. Have a nice day.
