A small percentage of the population is devastating our schools and services because they once negotiated extraordinarily high compensation and now refuse to allow the economy to impact them in the same way it has everyone else.

Very much so… Here is a perfect example of how the unions shows utter disregard for its own by chosing to take pay raise in lieu of keeping all of its paying patrons employed. So the whole idea of unions and thier “caring” about the common worker or the welfare of the student is BS to me. Of course the topic was pensions but it has been mention how the private sector shows no care for it own… Push come to show niether do the unions. The union is a business of its own and product it yields is self serving. Most don’t do the job for free and they are worried about thier jobs as well at the cost of the taxpayer.
P.S. This is from a very liberal source… Not Fox news.[/quote]

That is not all unions, and I guarantee many of their union members would have agreed to a pay freeze or cut in order to protect jobs. There are countless stories across the nation where employees did just that, but they’re not reported in the MSM for reasons that are obvious to those who understand what’s going on.
Personally, I would have taken a freeze or cut in pay in order to protect other people’s jobs (and have done so in the past). Would you?
