Its one thing to fire certain teachers, saying they arent doing their job. But it just isnt possible that EVERY teacher in the school isnt putting in the effort.

I hope a class action lawsuit makes all the teachers rich.

Negotiate as individuals and expect to be dealt with in kind. Negotiate as a group and be dealt with as a group.

Well, here at least, you cant fire union members over contract disputes. Thats why we have arbitrators.

I think shmike covered it pretty effectively but this isn't a normal situation. When the government is the one writing the checks they tend to ignore their own rules too. I don't know if it changed or not but America's federal government didn't used to be subject to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) or ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) regulations either. These teachers will be lucky to get another job. If they want to be millionaires they better start playing the lottery.

Uh, it must of been a long time ago, because I am a federal employee and we could nail our managers to the fucking wall and collect a big pay check from Uncle Sam if they tried to violate OSHA. Our safety requirements exceed OSHA on every level.

I personally know someone that has benefited from the ADA as well. They used it in their grievance case.
