A TEACHERS UNION STORY

Here's a little look at what the teachers unions are up to. This story comes from Northeast Pennsylvania. Democrat state legislatures are introducing a bill that would make religiously affiliated schools subject to state labor relations laws. It all started because the Catholic diocese would not recognize the teachers union as a collective bargaining unit.

So this bill would allow teachers and employee at religious schools the option, by a majority vote, to be represented by a union. If this were the case, the unions of religious schools would be able to bring their grievances to the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board. As of now, the Labor Relations Board does not have jurisdiction over issues in religious schools.

The union argues that by religious schools not recognizing teachers unions, this puts the teachers "at the will of their employer." Oh, the horror! If you don't want to be "at the will of an employer," get out there and create your own job!


The local Catholic diocese says that this bill would mean the end of Catholic schools in the district, which would cost local communities $73,880,400 each year to educate these students. Maybe that's the goal! The more students who are removed from parochial schools and placed into the government school system the more powerful the teacher's unions become.

What others are saying

  • Cost?
    Does anyone else have an issue with the school district claiming they will need another $74 MILLION to educate these students when the parochial & private schools are shut down?

    The parents of these children have been paying property & sales taxes for years to educate others children while paying out of pocket for a better education. Now taxes for this entire district will go up because some gov't bureaucrat wants to solidify the hold of the teacher's unions on the minds of the children....
  • teachers
    There will always be teachers and we will always need more of them. As a teacher you can CHOOSE where you want to work. You don't like that school, go somewhere else!
  • teachers union
    I understand that complete “separation of church and state” really is not really in our constitution, but the idea has been a big priority for democrats for quite a while. Now democrats want to give a government institution dominion over a church school system. Perhaps the democrats should decide whether or not they really want that separation.
  • not a union story
    Everyone should be covered by covered by Labor Relations Laws. What makes the diocese think they are better than the rest of us?
  • NLRA
    Accrording to the NLRA, so long as the employees dont want to be represented, then they dont have to be. The decision is on the employees, not the unions.
  • Money and Control
    The Democrats are only concerned with two things- money and power. That's it. The rest doesn't matter. Education doesn't matter. Quality doesn't matter. Whether kids learn doesn't matter... actually the dumber, the better as that would secure future votes for the Democrat Party. If they can't even read the Constitution or understand it, that's a bonus.

    Parochial schools turn out folks with a conservative mindset, morals, principles and ethics. Can't have that. Use government to eliminate them
  • Pocket Obama
    Notice that the "History Company", which sells the Pocket Obama, does not sell the pocket Constitution.

    Well, at least we know where to get one (or ten).
