Reminds me of a teacher I know in a small town. Their school lost their sole librarian and the library was closed. The teacher volunteered to run the library so it could stay open. Union says it's not allowed, library stays closed.
- kazinator 4y agoIf the librarian was paid, the union's position makes a certain amount of sense. Also, the library is open during school hours, so does the teacher not teach during that time? The school has replaced the lost librarian but is effectively short a teacher now.

- mc32 4y agoScrew it! Let's outlaw volunteerism, it obviously undercuts the labor market and that is not allowed. Volunteers are anti-labor capitalists disguised as goody two shoes serving the community.

- monkeybutton 4y agoThe position was a paid one. I suppose the offer to keep it open by volunteering would have been worked around their class schedule and be at a reduced level of service compared to before. Still, it would have been open.
