Teachers who oppose worker-choice are just collectivist laborers
I have been watching and reading all about the union radical demonstrations at the state Capitol. And make no mistake, they are just union radical demonstrations.
Take a good look in the background and you can see the Teamsters' great big semi cruising the area. Now we hear them trying to get union-member teachers to strike.
I moved to Battle Creek four years ago after retiring from a public service position. I moved from a right-to-work state. But don't get me wrong, I belonged to a union, but it is called a protective league. I did not have to join, but I knew it was there to protect me from false complaints and uses of force. I have been raised to believe that teachers, police and fire are highly trained and educated professionals. Not laborers. I guess if I worked in a plant and connected widgets to widgets all day long, I might need a union. But it should be my choice. I can't believe that even babysitters are union.

Well, if the highly trained and educated teachers of this state allow themselves to be led by the nose by their union to strike and allow the kids to roam free from the classrooms, and roam they will, then it just may prove that they, the teachers, are just laborers after all and care not for our children.

Imagine if the police decided to take this action and left your city unprotected. Or your brave firefighters did the same. Who would protect your property? Surely not your union activists.
