re: #196 Buck

Follow the whole “Doctors notes” story at all? The teachers are calling in sick in order to protest. They are NOT in a legal position to strike, and that is why they are not actually striking. They are just not showing up for work until they get what they want.

Are they really sick? No. Now I agree that for now they do seem to be in a gray area, BUT at some point a judge will have to make a ruling. Is this a “concerted work stoppage by municipal employees, any concerted interruption of operation of services, or any concerted refusal to work or perform normal duties for the purpose of enforcing demands on a municipal employer?” If it is, then it is a strike, and state law prohibits public school teachers from striking.

Until then you can look the other way if you wish.

Then you’re right I do think we should be working to change the system.

Why the f*** are they not allowed to strike while people work to break their union?
