I’d suggest that pre-Covid teachers unions worked to communicate how essential and valuable they were to society, but during the pandemic the unions strangely shifted gears and devalued their members work by basically arguing that the teaching profession was less important then a grocery bagger.
Essential workers showed up during the pandemic and did yeoman’s work. Teachers unions argued that they didn’t need to show up to educate our children and failed miserably.
Ironically the union’s stupidity by pursuing school closures and remote school illustrated how truly valuable teacher’s are, but destroyed their reputations at the same time.
- randomdata 3y agoMost amusing is that in 2019 the teachers union was fighting the government over a proposed change which would see students take two mandatory online classes as part of their completion requirements. The teachers claimed it would be devastating to the kids if just two classes were online. The government finally relented and agreed to not force that upon the students, but then what seemed like only days later all classes were taken online with no pushback from the union to be seen.
