[QUOTE="kjones, post: 290236, member: 4533"] Aplusmnt, you seem to think that strikes are about nothing but money, or more specifically getting paid more. I can assure you that is not the truth very often. There is a lot more to striking than that. Some reasons can include, medical, dental, vision benefits. Retirement, outsourcing. Using contractors to do work done by union labor. Working conditions ( hours schedules, safety issues, safety equipment). The list con go on, but the point is it isn't just about pay. there are also a lot of job there that call for an apprenticeship of up to five years, so these people aren't "off the street". They spend a considerable amount of time studying and attending classes to accomplish their journeyman ship. The electrician journeyman program calls for more math than it does to get a teaching certificate. And by the way I think teachers should get paid more than they do, but unfortunately to many people aren't willing to pay the increase in taxes to pay these UNION workers. When they strike do you bad mouth them also? [/QUOTE]
