I'm sorry Union or no Union Kids should never be used as a bargaining tool to get what you want. There is absolutely no reason in the world that our kids should be denied their education so that you can get what you want. I come from a very large Union Family and I have also worked in a Union environment. I have gone from making over $25 an hour to working my butt off for less than $9, with no wage increase in over 5 years and no benefits. I survived, suck it up buttercup and get back to work. Maybe these greedy people should try to live with less the $1500 a month as I do and see how long they survive. Unions should only be in place to keep jobs local and not to encourage greed and to hold Children hostages in gyms and not allow them to learn. You are teaching Children that if they throw tantrums you will get what you want.... SHAME ON YOU
