    Yeah, forgive me if I don't lose any sleep over your judgmental little prissiness.

      You have been wrong on so MANY points, it's not even funny.

      The "teaching unions", as you so ignorantly call them, teach nobody.
      They are LABOR unions who have one goal in mind -- to advance and protect the interests of the teachers who pay their dues.

      Same with "police unions" -- they are LABOR unions with one goal in mind - to advance and protect the interests of the police who pay their dues.

      Those are what are called "fact" thingies.

          Offering unsubstantiated opinion tells me nothing.

          With respect to my reference to teaching unions, and as I duly explained, my reference was to the teaching profession. In other words unions established to defend/protect those involved in that profession.

            You have provided unsubstantiated opinion and a selected instance. However, as I have just noted in another reply to you, you prefer simple answers to complex issues.

                These are facts. Dispute them if you can.

                With respect to my reference to teaching unions, and as I duly explained, my reference was to the teaching profession.
                Yes, you doubled down on your ignorance.

                In other words unions established to defend/protect those involved in that profession.
                And ONLY those in that profession ---- the Unions themselves teach nobody - and they only care about the interests of the teachers and other dues payers -- not the students.
                Same with the police unions.

                Now, you can keep on with your nutty prattle about "unsubstantiated opinions" with regard to the FACTS, but it doesn't change the FACTS.

                  What a steaming load of crap! I have stated the case regarding unions --- because you can't dispute the FACTS, you're doing what you do so often --- run away.

                  What have I said about police unions or teachers unions that is false? You can't answer that!

                    And as I noted you have a distinct and unpleasant habit of summarily dismissing everything that does not conform to your selected narrative. And if overcomplicating a rather simple issue is what is required to push your narrative you will do so without hesitation.

                      Here's something else for you to totally stubbornly ignore, as is your habit...

                      A Simplified Overview of Teachers' Unions and How They Work (lawinfo.com)

                      Teachers Unions & Collective Bargaining

                      Disclaimer
                      A teachers' union is a special type of labor union designed to fight for the rights of educators. With roots dating back more than 150 years in the U.S., these organizations play critical roles not only in securing benefits for teachers but also shaping the way education works. For instance, thanks to lobbying by the National Education Association, or NEA, in the late 1860s, Congress created the Department of Education.

                      What Teachers' Unions Bargain For

                      Like other types of trade unions, teachers' unions use collective bargaining agreements, or CBAs, to protect their members. Over the years, collective bargaining has helped educators gain many rights, such as:
                      • Fair working conditions, compensation, and pay equality
                      • Tenure mechanisms that prevented qualified educators from being punished for their personal biases, political beliefs, or other unfair reasons
                      • Access to various benefits

                      When it comes to education policy, teachers' unions also work to ensure that educators can fulfill their job duties in the face of tough odds. For instance, the NEA played a critical role in shifting the focus from federal policies like the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which included 2001's No Child Left Behind Act, towards alternatives like the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015. At the same time, education policy is a very politicized issue, and not every lawmaker is onboard with the kinds of changes that teachers seek. These differences of opinion mean that individual educators may be subject to a variety of laws depending on where they are in their careers.


                      Absolutely nothing in there about the children - it's a LABOR UNION to protect the adults.

                            These topics are complicated.

                            The simplistic comments that have been offered [and summarised by me as "Blame the liberals" and "Blame the unions"] tell us precisely nothing.

                                What, more prattle? The public sector unions are problematic....
                                1. In the Education arena -- they too often protect bad teachers.
                                2. In the Public Safety arena -- they too often protect bad cops.

                                Those are facts.
