Some NYC teachers who chose to show support for the NYPD were threatened by their union with "potential implications" careerwise. Who the hell do these union thugs think they are?

PBA President Patrick Lynch spoke out to support the teachers who were going to wear the shirts on the first day of school until they received threats from the union, CBS 2’s Kramer reported.
“It’s absolutely a scare tactic,” said Lynch. “It’s mindboggling.”
The email warning reportedly received by teachers from a UFT official read in part, “Certain t-shirt messages may appear to be supportive, but individuals (parents, students) may see a different meaning in that message.”
The email also raised “potential implications” careerwise, Kramer reported.
“It’s only our responsibility to let people know these things,” Mulgrew said.
But Lynch countered: “They decided to act like management to try to scare their members from doing it and trying to stop the fact that their members don’t agree with their union marching with Al Sharpton. It’s disgraceful.”

Some claim that today's unions are still all about protecting the workers. Bullshit. It's all about controlling the workers and taking money from them to fund political campaigns. Even if you are happy with your union job, you still have to strike if the union tells you to do so. You have no choice. They decide what you need and whether you should be satisfied with your job.

Laws protect workers in this country. Unions are no longer needed and serve an entirely different purpose these days.
