Was that story covered at all in the major media? When stories aren't covered, they didnt happen.

Therefore , they don't care about,protecting individual teachers as long as they are permitted to own the monopoly on union dues. It doesn't matter to them what happens, as long as they maintain this "license". Their real mission statement is to,continue to rake,in the dollars, and to maintain the retirement system. However, aiding in working conditions isn't a,priority at all. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
