I remember reading a quote from a teacher union head who replied when someone mentioned about the impact to kids regarding a strike or another issue said 'Well, when the kids start paying dues I'll listen to them.'
Bottom line is the teachers union only looks out for the interests of the teachers. That should have been evident from the complaining about returning to in class instruction as the pandemic was winding down.

I’m a teacher, and I’m a different boat than a regular classroom teacher as I coach and have band duties throughout the year. My summer is about 4 weeks. I work about 60 hours a week every week from Sept through Oct.
I knew what I was getting into…to an extent. Since I’ve started teaching, my time has been abused. I’ve learned to say “no” more often, but when someone says “it’s about the kids and not the money”, I’ll ask if they’d do it for free.
Honestly, the kids are fine. Teaching is the easy part. It’s the Fridays that start at 6AM and end at midnight followed by an all day competition on Saturday that are hard. Upper level admin will try to guilt you into things by suggesting it’s about the kids. For me? It’s my family, myself, then the students.
