Teachers

A question that comes up in the news these days is why grocery workers go to work and teachers stay home. The answer is that if you work at Walmart and refuse to work you don't get paid. The teachers in California must be different than the teachers here in Minnesota. The teachers here put students first. The union is different in that they put teachers first. Teachers in a number of big cities like Los Angeles refuse to work on the grounds that it is unsafe. Safety seems to go out the window where some teacher returned to work because they received hazard pay. The question is if they did not get paid would they go to work. It is not unlike being on strike and still getting paid. While teachers here are anxious to return to regular school the teachers in these other areas seem to want to stay home. The teachers in Chicago finally agreed to return to school. Maybe these other cities will do the same.
