This is why I belong to a union.
1. reprimanded for writing a letter to a legislator regarding school safety (I was unaware that teachers have limited free speech rights). Won't make that mistake again.
2. falsely accused of making PRANK PHONE CALLS to a student I hardly knew
3. reprimanded for "making a girl cry" after I sent her out for a dress code violation (4th day in a row)
Two of my friends needed union representation for the following:
1. calling a parent about a student's suicide comment (apparently teachers are not permitted to do this)
2. accused of "simple assault" for accidently hitting a kid while gesturing
If Christie busts the teacher's union and makes participation voluntary, I will keep my membership. And I am a Republican.
Here is why I do NOT belong to a union (and haven't since I realized I have brains of my own):
1. My own union brother crew-mates told me to go and f**k myself when I needed their help.
