It is a strange comment from a person who believes in the unions and
their policy of paying the oldest and longest serving employees the
most, regardless of performance.
Who believes that? I don't think you'll find anyone who does.
School teachers.
Be sure to let us know when a system is devised that actually is capable
of judging teachers on merit. It sure as hell isn't the standardized
testing bull****.

They don't want to see any merit based pay. This "testing" thing is
just a red herring.

The unions are not opposed to merit pay that is determined by fair
testing on the basis of merit.

We will see. Scott just signed the bill yesterday that will do that.
So far the school union seems pretty much opposed.

You tend to end up with a comment like that... "we'll see." Basically,
that means you don't know and just guessing.

The only thing we "will see" is whether paying younger teachers who
perform better actually raises achievement overall.
The adverse reaction of the union is a fact.

Why the discrimination against older teachers? Are you claiming that
only the young ones are capable of teaching well?

The problem is, you can't get rid of a teacher who is not performing
so they keep moving up through the system, sucking up money you could
be using to attract new teachers.

The problem is that this is intellectually dishonest. Sorry. I know
that's harsh. This is a tiny percentage of the problem.

Can you quantify "tiny percentage". Why is it intellectually dishonest?
Because you say so? Ya right.

I have recollection of herring stating here once that while he got the

he didn't join the union...he was a free rider, living off the efforts
of others.

It must really aggravate you retired corporate slugs that there are
still a few employees around who are not at-will serfs, to be disposed
of on a whim so the boys in the suits can take home bigger "bonuses."

BTW, are you also imposed to military personnel getting paid more the
longer they serve?

Their promotions rely on merit, dumbass.
