And their members that go along with this crap i.e. holding meetings in the middle of the school day are a bigger joke! You want to know why our kids are failing? Look in the mirror!

Right here, in this simple action, we can see what is wrong with the public education system.

You’re only hurting yourselves.

Come on Bobby, tell us what you told them. On another note, monday is the most unproductive day in the government. Perhaps the union rightly knew that and chose that day. now many members who would have called in sick, will just come to work late tomorrow.

got my coffee ready for this one.

Finance Minister is looking for an answer by a certain time frame, not giving the Unions and the Union body much time to gather and make a decision..

Curious.
