When those in glass houses throw stones!


From John Curry, August 31, 2010
"... the teachers union is behaving as badly as the worst school boards and school administrators in negotiations with teachers."
Union threatens strike against Ohio teachers union

Scores of people who work for Ohio's largest teachers union are threatening to go on strike.
Non-management employees of the Ohio Education Association say they'll walk out Wednesday if they don't have a new contract to replace one that's expiring.
The Professional Staff Union, or PSU, says in a statement that the possibility of its 109 members going on strike against the other union is embarrassing. But PSU president Norm Young says the teachers union is behaving as badly as the worst school boards and school administrators in negotiations with teachers.
The Ohio Education Association did not immediately return a message seeking comment. The talks with the employees' union were continuing on Tuesday.
