Another example of why teacher unions suck: Tacoma schools, teachers' union in contract standoff

.
Teacher unions are scum.  Teacher union activists are scum.

In case these morons haven't noticed, our economy is in the toilet.  Instead of hitting their knees and thanking God each and every day that they HAVE a job, these slimeballs are doing this kind of crap instead:
Tacoma schools, teachers' union in contract standoff

TACOMA, Wash. -- In three days, school starts in Tacoma, but the school district and the teachers' union continue to fight over a new teacher contract.

Hundreds of teachers will meet at  4:30 p.m. Monday at Mt. Tahoma High School for an update on the contract negotiations. School signs around Tacoma still say school starts on September 1, yet negotiators have not yet reached a new deal.
On Wednesday, teachers could vote to strike or work without a new contract.  Some teachers said they don't want to go on strike, but think it is a possibility.

Both sides are having a tough time agreeing upon three major issues: class size, salary and new classroom policies.

The school district wants to add up to two more students per classroom and cut teachers' salaries up to 1.9 percent. But last week, the school district said it was surprised and frustrated when the teachers' union asked for a pay increase and less kids in class.
More:

If we had a government that wasn't a wholly-owned WEA subsidiary, we'd have these slime arrested if they went on strike.  That would end it, in a hurry.

But the idea that in THIS economy, these worthless morons think we should pay them MORE?

Insanity.
