Unions don't support pushing for essential service status because it cuts the size and influence of their organizations.I f you agree that teachers would get a better deal if deemed essential - then members will ask why are we paying so much in dues. An association can do contract maintenance for much less. rather than spending millions on ad buys during contract talks.


The government may not want this, but the public does . They are tired of the current adversarial system of endless contract disputes and so am I.
