Heartless? Sorry, “heartless” was what this govt union hack said.

UL (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Manchester lays off 14 teachers; union boss calls response to less enrollment ‘heartless’

Less than 24 hours after city school board members voted to authorize layoffs, 14 educators at schools across the district received word they won’t have jobs in the Queen City come next fall. Sue Hannan, president of the Manchester Education Association, described the district’s decision to hand out reduction in force notices — which happened to be National Teacher Appreciation Day — as “heartless.”

What – does she think that government is supposed to be just an employment agency?  That teachers are “entitled” to have their jobs?  In the private sector, when demand goes down, the company pares down.  Or goes out of business.  Public sector? It seems to always want to tax more to keep levels up – especially in the education part of it.  The union knows that enrollments are down – but they always want more.  And more.

That’s what unions are – they want more of what they believe should be theirs.  And it never stops.  And anyone that goes up against them get this kind of treatment.

Heartless?  No – adapting to changes in the marketplace.  Apparently, something that this union hack, Sue Hannan, neither wants to accept or deal with.  Teachers are employed to teach our children – when there are less of them, we need fewer teachers (and other non-direct labor associated with it).

No, heartless is forcing cash strapped taxpayers to continue to ante up more and more for less and less.  You know what I call this?

Selfish.

This is a prime example of “it is for the UNION” – and not for “the children”.  Or their parents.
