Hi Bob

Unions are now concentrated in government vs the private industry.

Our advancement in robotics has neutralized the unions striking capabilities.
30,000 teachers are on strike in Los Angeles and a smaller number are on strike in Oakland.

They want smaller class sizes and a raise.

Some of the politicians have said the teachers need better pay and small class sizes.

My reply on their Facebook page was to link to Bill Clinton's SOTU speech and suggest they might have smaller class sizes and more money to spend had they done what Bill said needed doing.

I'm keeping at it as it is no coincidence that sanctuary cities have issues with low cost housing (too much demand) and over supply of low skill workers who bring their kids here for the free education, subsidized rents, food stamps, etc.

Note too from this article that the "money they have" is needed to help PARTIALLY fund the pensions. I think the teachers would have more salary NOW if they agreed to work until age 67 and get Social Security level pensions like the rest of us in the private sector.
