"The Real Class War: Jimmy Hoffa, Ohio Union Bosses Won’t Lower Dues to Help Workers"
Why is every complaint starting to look like a baby's tantrum?
Are these teachers not smart enough to see this as it really is?
And we let them teach/influence our kids!...

hristian Hartsock includes this in his article at BigGovernment.com:
"I asked one teacher how, being an Occupy demonstrator and opponent of Ohio labor reforms, she justified the $210,000 annual salary of Larry Wicks, executive director of the Ohio Education Association (OEA), of which she is a dues-paying member. She paused for thought–understandably, since that fact would seem to justify class warfare against the 'rich' Mr. Wicks. Ultimately, she concurred with my criticism, and even condemned her very own OEA.
Other Ohio teachers are even less hesitant to criticize their union. One teacher (who wished to remain anonymous for her own safety) shared that she had requested a waiver to opt out of paying the union’s political assessments, to which the response was, 'We’ll get back to you.' They didn’t.
Recently, fifteen teachers filed a class-action suit in the U.S. District Court in Columbus, claiming the OEA had illegally refused to provide the teachers with independently-audited financial statements disclosing how fees were being appropriated."
