I am a public union but I understand your point. We do have an interest in fiscal responsibility as our funds are from property taxes and any year could flip the budget on its head (see 2020). That being said there always seems to be more and more money in the federal budget for the teachers unions to milk out.
Alright well imagine that something like 2020 happens and your local gov decides it needs to cut teachers salaries to make the budget work. So the local teachers union goes on strike.
But who are they striking against? It isn’t the school system. It is we the people. We are the ones who elected the people that put that budget in place. That isn’t the case in a private sector. Which is why I say all public unions have to go.
I mean I know that to be false where I live because I see the budget where I am. Your property taxes are typically based off the value of your home, so if your home loses value the municipality has less money than it did the year prior.
Yeah but that’s a bunch of liberal policies that keep the government bloated. I’m in a red area so we have to rightly make due with what revenue the county generates. Democrats will just keep printing money to pay for things they can’t afford.

Fair point. But just to clarify I cannot strike at all, not that I ever would even if I could. It’s against the law for me to go on strike.
