so you do not think teachers should be paid fairly? what is your explanation for the teacher shortage in Oklahoma?
tell me what you think they do and how many members they have statewide. Do you think teachers in Oklahoma have to join a union? what is your definition of a union?
They list the starting salary in advance. If it's not enough they shouldn't take the job. It is really that simple. Or should we explore "fair pay" for every single job in America?
do not try to shift a real conversation into something else. do you think the shortage may have something to do with the starting pay?
AFT is fairly organized . They have a seat at the bargaining table but don't have the right to strike, nor does any other 'association' in the state. Unfortunately , teachers don't have a big voice in the state. Whatever the OEA deems is the best path is what they are left with.
because we are a no strike state there is not any real collective bargaining, which I agree with. I am a member of POE, not OEA, for the lawyer.

That's quite revealing. At least you teachers are teaching and kids are learning in marble pillared palaces with gold fixturing that would make Saddam Hussein blush in his grave. Something is way bad wrong....
Every year there are teachers in the classroom. So is it a real shortage or just more of "the sky is falling" hype?
