As far as the 61.5% union raises being good for the average working American, how is that? The average working American will be paying for those wage increases since that expense will be added to the cost of the goods they purchase.

I couldn't have said it better.
I also have an issue with some teachers unions in this day and age. I don't like the direction they take. Teachers are invaluable, but one can become a teacher, a good teacher without climbing as difficult an education path as a doctor. It is also a job that is somewhat more flexible than others. Good teachers ARE more valuable than diamonds. I realize because of the behaviors of children that teaching has become dangerous as well. I know so many people that teach for the vocation of teaching and that still makes me so proud.
