They both need to be taken down a few notches imo.jhu72 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 11, 2020 9:23 pmI have no problem with unions in general. I have a problem with treating unions differently depending on who they are. Police unions have the same problematic behaviors as all other unions. Allowing the inferior and problematic members to hide and not be culled. The union standing in the way of addressing those issues. The republicans seem to dislike teacher's unions for that reason (or that is the excuse they use). These same republicans refuse to see the same problem in police unions.6x6 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 11, 2020 8:56 pmSeems like you and the others here that wish to eradicate public sector unions and especially police unions, will be disappointed by the man you just voted for.

A co-sponsor of the original Employee Free Choice Act, Biden supports workers choosing to form a union if a majority signs authorization cards empowering a union to represent them. He will go beyond the PRO Act by allowing workers to use this process, called “card check,” as an initial option for forming a union, not merely an option granted when the employer has illegally interfered in the election process.
Provide a federal guarantee for public sector employees to bargain for better pay and benefits and the working conditions they deserve. Public sector unions provide the voice that workers – including educators, social workers, firefighters, and police officers – need to ensure they can serve their communities. And, public sector unions have been and continue to be an essential pathway to the middle class for workers of color and women, who disproportionately work in the public sector. Yet, in many states across the country, public sector workers do not have the right to bargain collectively. In states such as Iowa, Wisconsin, Florida, Michigan, and Indiana, these rights are increasingly under attack. As president, Biden will establish a federal right to union organizing and collective bargaining for all public sector employees, and make it easier for those employees who serve our communities to both join a union and bargain. He will do so by fighting for and signing into law the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act and Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act. He will work to ensure public sector workers, including public school educators, have a greater voice in the decisions that impact their students and their working conditions. He will also strongly encourage states to pursue expanded bargaining rights for state licensed and contracted workers, including child care workers and home health care workers. And, he will look for federal solutions that will protect these workers’ rights to organize and bargain collectively. Finally, he will reinstate the Obama-Biden rule, which the Trump Administration has since reversed, making it easier for independent-provider home care workers to join a union.
Nearly brought a storm into myself on Facebook last weekend. After seeing maybe the 12th or 15th post from a teacher about how hard their life is I had to point out families are getting divorced over kids learning from home,working from home, struggling to pay the bills and keep their parents alive (not me on this last one but know many in this circumstance), etc and therefor they should employ some empathy, be grateful they don’t have the same employment risk and shut the heck up. Had many supporters but these teachers have become entitled douchebags, many of whom I don’t want teaching my kids. (Police are viewer similarly by this guy but I am willing to distinguish between life threatening and complaining parents, but both are working civil service jobs, stressing the service, go do something else if you don’t like the conditions)
