Large Teacher and Thug Union Protest On Saturday

On Saturday, April 30, there will be a large teacher/support staff/administrators and other interested people will hold a large rally for education.
I won't be attending or supporting the rally, even though I belong to the CCEA. Unfortunately, the CCEA has decided to partner with the thug union, SEIU. The SEIU is just a gang of thugs in Las Vegas. They show up in places where they have no business.
In addition, the CCEA has also enlisted the help of other unions. This rally now is not about education but about unions and their power in the state. If the CCEA wanted this to be about education and the children, then they should have limited the unions participating to education unions, parents and children. But instead, they chose to invite a bunch of unions, including thug unions and this will be a public relations disaster for the cause of education.
In addition, the CCEA, CCSD and the other education unions have not gone after the fat in education. If the CCEA and CCSD went after the fat in CCSD and other school districts and eliminated it, then I could offer my support. But the union, administrators and school board just want the fat gravy train to continue to roll on.
The unions are going to throw union members under the bus by conceding to pay cuts, increases in health insurance payments and pension payments all to keep dues paying teachers, whether we need the teacher, administrators and support staff or not. It's all about the money and union dues. It's not about education.
So, the CCEA can hold their rally on Saturday, but all it is about is union power and not education. I think most people in Nevada now realize this and are going to ignore the teachers.
So called teacher unions are not for the children, just union leaders, their lavish life style and their members.
Screw the children.
