Teachers on strike in LA

We went on strike in New York City....and the changes were great. I had 42 in a class then it went to max of 32. We got more aides and more money as well for salaries and for supplies. We also got more prep time it was tough because of course we didn’t get paid when we were on strike

 

Rinos like Gil Cisneros/ Harley Rouda who turned Democratic in total rout of the GOP in Orange county? Out of 53 congressional seats in California Republicans have only 7. You can't be in any way influential in absentia.

 

Don't be silly. Every strike involves the behavior you disingenuously are shocked over.

 

I can not imagine one teacher dealing with 40+ kids without an aide and counselor especially in middle schools.

 

The Democratic California state legislature legalized voter fraud in California allowing ballot harvesting and also allowing people to register to vote and cast a vote on election day after the polls have closed.

Every Republican Congressional seat that flipped and went blue was because of ballot harvesting and provisional ballots that were casted after the polls have closed.

All those Republicans who lost on the last election won at the polls on election day but were defeated by ballot harvested votes and people who registered and voted after the polls closed at 8 pm.

 

Communist have been heavily active with many unions and strikes in America for a hundred years now.

 

Just curious, carlos, is it legal for public school teachers to strike in California? Some states prohibit that.

 

You can't get away with that nonsense. You've live in California a long time and watched a once respectable political party descend into irrelevancy. Focus on convenient diversions as an excuse. It won't win elections. Old time Republicans are Democrats today, at least in our state.

 

This should be its own thread! I would love to see the democrats response. Their answer will probably be "orange man bad"

 

If Ronald Reagan was Governor of California today, he would fire all of the striking teachers.

 

I think most of the Reagan Democrats died of old age.

 

Without looking it up, yes strikes are legal in California like I assumed in every state.

 

You know as governor, Reagan was a Democrat by today's standard [pro-women/ abortion rights/ high taxes/ pro-environment/ secular]. You probably like that Reagan allowed the cops to drop tear gas from helicopters on student demonstrators in Berkeley.

 

Don't remember cops even having helicopters back during the 1960's.

 

Sorry I was being lazy.

I went ahead and looked it up - California is one of 12 states where it is legal for public school teachers to strike (Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Vermont).

 

I get you mixed up with another poster in the Bay Area. But you must remember the many anti-war marches/ student demonstrations/ the 'People's Park'/ Free Speech movement at Berkeley and other college towns in California back in the 1960's.

 

Interesting. Nurses strike here. They have a very strong union.

 

It why America went with Nixon in 1968.

 

Nixon called it 'quits' on Vietnam war but was removed from office later. Trump is a super dumb version of Nixon

 

It wasn’t easy...and imagine having to grade 200 papers. But to me the worst part was lack of supplies. I ended up buying pens and pencils for kids as well as paper for their notebooks

 

Very steep waves. You have to dive back into the wave before it breaks unless you were ready to fall from a tall building into a couple of feet of water and then have a lot of water come down on you.

My good friends and brother-in-law used to surf Lunada Bay in Palos Verdes. Pacific storms brought some huge waves...



Long time back now. Fifty years.

 

Yeah, PV was a good place to "park." These days, with both parents working, kids have sex in their houses.

 

More of a 1930s through 1950s thing, but some unions still have real socialists (collective ownsership of production) involved.

 

My cousins and I would share/ fight over one surfboard. They lived in Long Beach so we would surf the infamous "Ray Bay" at the San Gabriel river outlet in Seal Beach. I don't know how I managed to escape getting stung by stingrays. This was back in the 1960/70's

 

Most of the guys I hung around with at Long Beach State lived in Seal Beach. My Best Man rented a house pretty much on the beach for several years. It was pretty neat to walk out the door, step across a wide sidewalk, and be on the beach.
