54. LOL,and the teachers you demean is a small group??
Yeah,I think you are an idiot if you have union representation,pay dues,elect officers but in the end you really can't do a damn thing about your job situation but quit. Again,whats the point of the Union? You have representation but no power,you pay dues but have no power. Your no better off as a organized group than a load of Walmart workers.

You go years without a raise,increased benefits. So you demand some and the boss tell you to shove it because you've signed a document stating you'll never walk out. Back to work you go so you can afford those weekly dues you pay in.

I've been in the union twice in my life,we sure as HELL had the right to strike if it came to that. We never did because we had that power. Teachers also have that but rarely need to use it because of the bargining power they have. Thats my point.....
