I think this is also a big difference in the view points. Being a Male, Junior High school teacher is obviously quite a different experience than a female grade 2-3 teacher. Not saying she can't get in those type of situations but the thought of the union as protection in that manner never crossed her mind once.

I mean, obviously you're looking at this from a very anti-union POV and there's nothing wrong with it, but when you take a job as a teacher for a public system, you take everything that comes with it. There's benefits and there's costs, sure, but if you're working the job then you are implicitly, if not explicitly, agreeing to them.

I agree she has to take it, as with Unions they do a good job of making sure you have no choice, hopefully she wises up soon enough and does something that doesn't involve association with such an evil group.
But she stupidly loves teaching too much and likely will stick with it for a few more years.
