Lars Larson is hoping Evergreen School District officials follow through and demands that workers and their unions follow the law

The Northwest Nonsense

Hey, quick question: which laws do the REST of us get to break without consequences?

I’m talking about the thoroughly illegal strike by classified workers in the Evergreen public schools.

Their labor unions declared a strike and 14-hundred workers walked off the job to extort raises from the citizens and parents who get hurt by such strikes.

The school district finds itself in a financial hole, 26 million dollars short, so it made a final offer and unions rejected it.

Then the workers went on strike…a strike that BREAKS state law.

Nearly every time, school boards refuse to call out the unions for this nonsense.

On Friday, the school board approved a resolution to take legal action, go to Clark County Superior Court and demand an injunction against the union.

That’s a good start but only if the district follows through.

Usually, schools don’t properly represent the people by demanding that workers and their unions follow the law.  They often cave in, pay what’s demanded, drive the district further in the red…then demand taxpayers put up more cash to pay the extortion and often pay workers for the days they DIDN’T work during the strike.

I’m crossing my fingers this time it can be different.  

As the Good Book says, “if you don’t work…you don’t eat” and a little starvation might just straighten out those unions.
