Wipe Out Teachers Unions, Wipe Out Kids Futures

Only five states do not have collective bargaining for educators and have deemed it illegal; South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, and Virginia.

The states respective (but not respected) ACT/SAT rankings are: 50th, 49th, 48th, 47th, and  44th. Wisconsin is ranked 2nd in the country. See a pattern here?

WTF Wisconsin

Being a union member and a local and regional leader I have been watching what is going on in Wisconsin with reserved apprehension. Despite my union membership I do not fully support all aspects of the union. But, I fully support their right to organize and bargain collectively.
Unions provide meaningful jobs, good wages, health care and retirement benefits while holding unrepentant management at bay. What unions do not give you is a way to get rich. 

If Wisconsin wants to bust unions they should offer the union members the equivalent pay as their non-union counterparts which is usual much higher.
