[QUOTE="adam71, post: 2343777, member: 549079"] Being union myself I would say yes, you pay them all the same. Workers that belong to the same union should not make anymore than the person next to them (except foreman) even if one is better than the other. As soon as one worker negotiates their own wages they're no longer part of the UNION. BTW that is why its called a UNION. Unions are about workers sticking together and having strength in numbers. This is why corporate thinkers such as yourself can't stand them. Its not about one teacher being better than another to you. Its about not having total control over the workers because they're in a union that has you and everyone like you upset. The fact that they can't walk out and fire someone at the drop of a hat. The fact that they can't just cut healthcare. The fact that they can't just cut any other benefit or lower the negotiated wages. Those are the reasons you and other corporate type people can't stand unions. Just admit it. The union I belong to does NOT mean you don't have to pull your weight on the job. If there is a weak link, he or she is the first to get laid off. Firing is reserved for blatant disregard for safety and/or other company policies which are governed by the union steward and the company representative. I know you want to paint the picture of unions as a bunch of lazy, overpaid and underworked slobs but that just isn't true at all. [/QUOTE]
