Teachers are dying. There is an actual conversation about teachers being compelled to bear arms. This is strikeworthy.

Given the admins attitude and disposition towards public school, I suspect they'd pivot on that to push for dismantling the public education model in favor of alternatives.

Oh you know it, today at the WH “listening session” with Trump and Betsy DeVos the only DC students were from one of the Charter School of course.

As per usual, the students have jumped into the leadership when the teachers unions should be leading -- calling for a general strike -- I know this takes some preparation but this is an emergency. Anarchy is order when government is chaos. Schiopero generale !!!

It's illegal for teachers in CT to strike, so my union probably can't openly advocate for it.

Striking is "illegal?" Striking was illegal in the 19th Century and could get you KILLED. People did it anyway and won the protections we have today. This is why the labor movement is dead. Fuck anyone who tells you that you can't organize or strike.

Because Capitalist unions are garbage unions that exist for the enrichment of officials via exploited labor.

It'd also help if a state actually allows public teachers'unions. There is none in Virginia, and they're being crushed in other states (like Wisconsin, once one of the strongest unions in the country).

Strikes are always initiated by the rank and file. This has long been a tradition in the labor movement. It allows the national heads to be perceived as peace brokers. Gives union long run credibility.
