I'm sold. This is the very best pro-union story that has appeared in a long time, with implications not only for teachers, but for all American workers. There is nothing like unionism to drive a stake through the heart of Grover Norquist, if indeed he has one. The CO is a bad boss among bad bosses--worse than the guy from Dilbert. Every American has had a boss like that. I'm glad you ran this and I certainly hope the UFT plans to keep this story, with its real-life Disney-style happy ending, in the public eye. Money cannot buy a story like this. Thanks for the clarification. I’m sold.
