One party supports the rights of workers to unionize and collectively bargain for themselves. One party does not support the right of people to call their own shots: republicans. If you're a teacher like me, Democrat or Republican, you need to understand that your job security, your salary, you're sick time, and your future pension have been brought to you by hardworking teachers who fought for these things with the support of the Democrat party. I don't care who's a republican or not, you can vote for whoever you choose. But workers get more with a union than going it alone. Not paying your dues but riding our coat tails is an insult to those in any union who sacrificed their futures to fight the Man and get the working conditions any dignified human is entitled to in this great and prosperous land we call America.
