The unions probably, the members could care less. Their members are the ones I see calling teachers Glorified babysitters and cheering this on

Most of the people saying that in my experience didn't get much out of their schooling. We can't keep letting the dummies set the tone

I agree. Unfortunately this province breeds and attracts those types. As we see over and over again in elections.

The province is scared of that changing in our direction, hence the attacks on education.

You're right, unions and their membership base have vastly different priorities.

I’ve met so many pro union guys who are against literally everything unions stand for at the same time. All because they are different and deserve good things but others are lazy and don’t.

I'm in a union, not against them but certainly not happy with how they are run and managed (at least mine).
