What do they complain about now, then? There is no way on God's green earth it comes to negotiation time and they just say, "
nah, we good." The union's job is to get them something better every single time. They are kind of hitting the limit (one would think) on time off, their salaries are strong and they have the best benefits a large group can have. They need to have something to work teachers into a snit about for leverage against the taxpayers.
If they're saying class sizes are fine, my guess is they're going to focus on squeezing more on the salary end.
