"Government unions" is an oxymoron. They are not a capitalistic entity and

can only hold their jurisdictions hostage to get what they want. Most of our

local and federal governments have laws against public employees striking

and hence recognizes them as monopolies.

You have one goofed up sense of capitalism. Sounds like you are a communist

or socialist both of which amount to the same thing.

LOL

You haven't got a clue.

It's your capitalist world, your choice, everyone for himself. So if

companies are not concerned with giving good services/goods/etc but only

with making money, why would the teachers do otherwise? Are they stupid?

Can **they** eat dirt?

If a customer won't pay what you think is proper, will you do the job

anyway? So why would the teachers be different? They do what you do,

they try to get the most money out of every work hour. The only

difference is that they group together (union) in order to bring to the

negotiating table an equivalent force to that of their employers.

Whoever said a union had to be leftist, it's a capitalistic thing

designed to obtain maximum profits. When have private companies acted

otherwise? When has a private company not maintained it's power? Have

you not seen private companies lobby and campaign towards their own

interests? Why would a union do different?
