Do you support the U.S. teacher strikes?

Yeah it is, I just want to point out that strikes don't always have to be anti-consumer but a teachers strike is harder to do without hurting 'the consumers'. But if you work in a department where the work increases and the funds decreases especially in a economy that is doing good it should be normal that people get on strike?

1) Of course it is, that's why teachers unions are literally full of horse shit and just because the general economy is doing good doesn't mean that every sector has to perform as well either ...

Oh you live in a richer neighbourhood and you do the same like other teachers in poorer states well you deserve a higher salary. Did not someone point out that teachers left a state for a better salary in an other state and those teachers got replaced by lesser educated/professional teachers?

2) You'd have to be naive if you think that there's enough opening teacher positions in those states to be able to carry all of the teachers that are striking ... 

 

1)  Ofcourse not but I think it is normal that when work increases year after year while funds decreases people going to question it, not that strike is a good answer.

2)  Well I meant PAOerfulone's post about teachers leaving the state because same work gets paid more in an other state.
