Pro-Union.... Pro-worker...
... but pro-Parent? or pro-Student?
- Bosses, have I got an idea for you: Don't pay your best employees more, don't ease out your least productive workers, and for crying out loud, never fire anyone, not even for the most blatant misconduct on the job.
It works for the public schools, doesn't it?
Actually, it doesn't, but since they're government monopolies, they don't care. They never go out of business. They just keep doing what they're doing, year after year, churning out class after class of students handicapped by a poor education.
My favorite line is "The Teachers' Unions insist that their members be treated like professionals but paid like factory workers." Sorry, I cannot attribute.
Larry Kudlow is asking "Where are the government plant closings?" It's a great point. Ford and GM have to shut down ostensibly good plants to stay competitive but government never has to trim at all.
