But why is it “sad” that autoworkers make more than teachers? Their working conditions can involve great danger and risk of bodily harm. They will be called on to work shifts to keep the line running 24\7. Management is always looking for ways to replace them with a robot.

I don’t think we can say the same for teachers. But teachers have for decades been unionized. And they have every right. But they cannot expected the “respect” they say we the taxpayer are not giving them AND higher pay, better working conditions, no commute, shorter hours.

They have to decide which they value more. Money or respect.

Happy employees rarely start unions. Too much time and effort involved.

It’s sad that the folks building cars in Detroit can make more than our teachers. If they can get that much the build cars then teachers do need a union.
