Nope
OEA/NEA is the big union for teachers in Ohio. They do NOT stand in the way when a school district wants to fire a teacher.. even mid year. Their contract negotiations are often "no raise" contracts and then they peddle this line that there was "nothing they could do". I'm sorry. Unions, through their "you have to pay us either way" mentality, have basically given a middle finger to the membership. All talk with pickets and facebook posts. Forget Donald Trump or the Koch brothers... OEA's demise will be totally self-inflicted. People aren't going to pay $800 a year for a no raise, "at will" contract.
