&lt;b&gt;&quot;I read the transcript of the court proceedings and one thing was ask by the court, don’t you realize that this can affect thousands of contracts and millions of public employees. Obviously Friedrich and her other co-workers are just thinking of themselves. You want out of the union just opt out but don’t think millions will follow you, unions protect employees and dues keep unions running. If we did not have unions we still will have sweat shops. Friedrich did not think this one out too well&quot;&#060;/b&#034;
The sky is falling...THE SKY IS FALLING!!! :)

Hurry up Chicken Little, run and hide before it&#039;s too late!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Adios to this lady.  There is a solid private sector principle: costs vs benefits received.

I work in the private sector and there is no such thing as a free lunch.  I read all of her unverified anecdotal stories that will never be allowed in court.  To get an idea of the inanity of her thought process, just replace the word &quot;union&quot; with&quot;big business&quot;, &quot;Microsoft&quot;. This country is in a big mess and in the find tradition of the masses, we need a scapegoat.  In steps this blonde and her moral crusade.

She IS a low skilled, less than intelligent, lower 30th percentile achiever who ran to teaching because it was all she could do.  Year after year she valiantly held her tongue as those big fat union pay checks, fat pensions, and full summers off and every single conceivable holiday added up.  She bravely sat there, intimidated, bullied, afraid for her life as the ugly union gave her at least a 30% wage premium.

Ms. Friedrich ought to:
1.  Disgorge ill gotten assets.
2.  Accept a full reduction in pay back to her first day of teaching.
3.  Relinquish any claims to a fully funded retirement at union negotiated district contribution rate, AND allow the recalculation of her benefits based upon a full year of work rather than 9 months and the pre-union negotiated wage rates.

If she were who she says she is, a woman of principle, she would do just that and then fight the fight.  This knot head blonde is not Joan of Arc at Orleans.  She us the white teach that sneaks on at the back door of the bus and rides for free.

Her U.S. A great idea.  Pay folks like her less and funnel that money to math and physics folks at the high school level.  Fried riches is OBSCENELY OVERPAID.

Private sector math and physics guy.
Former PTA VP who is sick and tired of no-talent whiny K teachers]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@k2kr, The union members are taxpayers and everyone who works for a government is a taxpayer!  I guess someone has to break it to you--the interests they represent are the interests of the majority of the taxpayers.  If you have interests that are contrary to those of the majority, you will have to work a little harder to elect reps that will make the decisions that you want!]]></description>
