For most of my working life, I've never known the benefits of a union. Then again, I guess you can't defend the nation when you're on your coffee break

Chicago Teachers Union is extremely powerful and can be helpful. A coworker needed to pump milk daily for her baby, and the principal told her to use an unsanitary bathroom stall. One call to her union rep, and the principal quickly found a clean, private room for her to use and apologized.

That's a more educational vocation requiring credentials that unions can't give. Teachers deserve way more pay than what they've been historically getting. Aside from teaching, unions teach you a trade and skills without incurring college debt.

Yes, but college professors also have a union, so the costs/wages could be covered for teachers as well. Student teacher's costs/ fees are higher, but wages are lower than for most union workers. Our lawmakers/unions could do more for educators. Biden tried. McConnell's Congress said no.

Well at least you know who to blame. As it is, if we didn't control both the house and Senate during Biden's first two years, the pact act would never have made it.
