THIS! 👆

My wife has been an RN for 20 years. She was hired into the local school system (with union representation) a few years ago and our eyes have been opened very wide. 👀

Here in New England, we have come to the conclusion that the superintendents are the local "Mob Boss" and that there are several "Made Guys" that can hire whomever they want no matter their work history or qualifications. Family members are preferred since they are less likely to step out of line and risk their VERY generous benefits package (95% coverage Healthcare, Pension, 11 paid vacation days, summers and extra weeks off during the regular school year).

Anytime my wife speaks up about how her students need better care or a kid needs special services, her coworkers and fellow union members get uncomfortable and separate themselves. The dumbest "soldiers" are pushed into positions where they are encouraged to keep paperwork to a minimum and not share things via email. Sadly the parents are the last to find out when there is a problem BY DESIGN!
