Did you know that in most school district union leaders either do not teach or teach part time? And, while doing union business (forcing good teachers to pay bribes if they want to be in a classroom) you the taxpayer pays for this.
"Perhaps the most ridiculous waste of taxpayer dollars is facing a legal challenge in one California school district that is suing its teachers union to get its money back.
The Vista Unified School District is suing the Vista Teachers Association, the California Teachers Association, and the National Education Association over the wages of its local union president, which is released from teaching responsibilities to work on union business as part of the districts collective bargaining agreement, the North County Times reports.
In school districts across the nation, local teachers union presidents are released from their teaching duties either full or part time to conduct union business. Some contracts also allow for release time for rank-and-file teachers to work for the union, or to lobby lawmakers.
The ridiculous practice often costs schools $100,000 or more per year to cover the presidents salary and benefits in addition to the cost of a substitute teacher to essentially provide the nations multimillion dollar teachers unions with free labor."
So much corruption and embezzlement, I do not know where to start. Either be a teacher or a union organizer. Why should school districts collect the bribes, turn the money over to the unions, and force your employees to pay bribes to work?
"We also encourage other school districts to publicly highlight similar contract provisions in their local agreements, as well as this California court case, and let local taxpayers decide if they believe it is a wise use of precious school funds.
We would venture to guess that would quickly put an end to this union racket."
Why does the district sign this corrupt deal in an agreement? Those approving it should go to jail, for embezzlement.
