I won't make this long, but I'll make it clear: I am in suuport of teachers' unions (I am in support of unions for me, too, which is why I'm a proud member of the Canadian Association of Professional Employees. I've been a member of various other unions in my past, including the Canadian Union of Educational Workers, Canadian Union of Public Employees, and the Hotel, Restaurant and Tavern Workers Union local 237. I've never doubted that the union was my best (and often only) means to negotiate a fair wage and working conditions, and my suggestion to non-union people who resent the gains unions have been able to win is that they join a union and win the same benefits for themselves (we'll help!). I might write about educational technology and I may even criticize teachers and their representatives, but never doubt that I am solidly on the side of labour, employee unionism, and collective bargaining.
