My parents both worked in the public school systems. Their employer (local government) pushed as hard as they could to reduce salaries, lay off teachers, increase tenure requirements etc etc. This was in the 1970's. It's nothing new. the difference is that in the private work force the company goes bankrupt and everyone looses. in the government work force they just tax us more, the government does't go bankrupt.

billvon 2,989 #27 August 17, 2011 Looks like Kaisch has been spanked and is retreating to a more reasonable position: ======================== Kasich, fellow Republicans propose SB 5 deal to unions The Columbus Dispatch Wednesday August 17, 2011 5:13 PM Gov. John Kasich pleaded with organized labor leaders today to compromise on Senate Bill 5 and cancel a fall referendum on the controversial bill that peels back public employee collective bargaining rights. Kasich said avoiding a fight over state Issue 2 is in "best interest of everyone, including public employee unions." He asked the unions to "set aside political agendas and past offenses." . . . As part of the proposed compromise, a modified binding arbitration system, the right for all nonsafety forces to strike, and “fair share” payments to unions by nonunion employees would likely have been reinstituted. Republicans also might have been willing to hedge on a provision of Senate Bill 5 that outlaws seniority as a determining factor for layoffs. Other economic issues such as merit pay and non-economic factors such as the education reforms included in the bill were on the table as well. August 30 is the deadline to take the item off the November ballot, where the measure is state issue 2. ======================== >That's why Kasich got elected Ironically he may just lose the next election over it.
