Congratulations, KCMSD effectively has no teacher's union

I haven't seen anything about it in the Star but for all practical purposes, the Kansas City, Missouri School District has no working, effective teacher's union. It is kaput. A couple years ago the District went without a contract for a few months and that seemed to be the beginning. Now, the teachers are so desperate for a job and work and a paycheck, the District has them by their cajone's, to use a rather crude phrase. Since the teacher's need the work, the District can add--and is--as many additional half-hour segments to the workday that they want. After all, what are the teachers going to do, quit? Band together and fight it and risk being let go? Nope. It's gone, all that. So if you're one of those anti-union and especially anti-teachers union people, go ahead, you can do a little dance. They're all just like us now. They're "wage slaves" just like you and me. Lovely working in America, isn't it? I miss the middle class.
