Well out in the real world we recently lost of health care insurance. It has been replaced with a scam called HSA.
HSA is so bad they told us we needed supplemental insurance to cover our medical costs.
So a common workplace benefit has been replaced with a scam.
I don't hear any calls for HSA's for government workers.
Considering the strength of public sector unions I am not surprised..
Unions that used to benefit craftsmen were killed off.
Instead Teachers and Firefighters now make more money than people with an actual tradecraft.
All thanks to their unions.
So what was created to promote workplace safety for tradesman (Unions) has been distorted into a giant money sucking vortex.
What a country (My best Yakov Smirnoff impression).

- sjg007 8y agoIf your company only offers an HSA, I would find another job and when you leave tell them that their health insurance plan was the reason.

It sounds like you should be forming a union to demand things like a serious health insurance plan. Given that teaching pays worse than most other professions requiring a degree, the better question is how bad it’d be without unions. I live in DC which has some of the best teacher pay in the country and that’s still $60-70k — not poverty but really far from “a giant money sucking vortex” unless you think they should be monks.
