Secretary of Labor's Rose Colored Glasses

Well, the Secretary of Labor, Tom Perez, has put out a blog post calling on workers to form unions.

Tom cheers that we are in a great economic recovery but laments that wages are not up. He cites that union workers make about $200 more a week and so more people should form unions.

Of course there is no way that the ACA (Obamacare) has nothing to do with wages. Forcing employers to spend more money on employees or cut back on their hours to avoid this has absolutely nothing to do with wages. No. Not being in a union is to blame for low wages.

And yet, later in his blog post he writes:

At the same time, employers are recognizing the benefits of empowering their employees to build successful, profitable businesses founded on middle-class jobs. Across the country, we’ve seen company after company raise their minimum wage, offer sick and parental leave, and commit to fairer scheduling practices.

What is it Mr. Secretary? Do we need unions or are companies getting competitive by offering their employees more?

Let us not forget how well the unions have worked out for Chrysler and GM. Plus how unions have bankrupted cities.

But no. With all the bankruptcy that unions cause let us go ahead and promote them. There is plenty of bailout money. Maybe that extra $200 a week people will make can be used in bailouts to keep the businesses open so that they can pay an extra $200 a week.

Perez has a small distorted vision on wages and does not take into account of what the government has thrust upon businesses through regulations and laws, nor has he examined how unions have hurt businesses.

There is no economic growth unless you make the environment friendly to make a profit. The smaller a company's profits get, the smaller the salaries, hours, and size of the work force.

Teacher's Union

The Union for Teachers. Department of Education.

Good?

Good for who(m)?

Does a Union protect the worker or the client/boss?

The Teacher's Union.

Is it working for the teacher or the students? Who gets paid? Who pays or who's parents pay?

How about a "Client Union?"

Made in the USA? NO! South Carolina!

Do you remember the story from a year ago when Boeing built a factory in South Carolina and the National Labor Relations Board sued and blocked Boeing from opening up the factory? The issue was S. Carolina is a "right to work" state which means you do not have to join a union. The law suit had been filed because the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers were upset about the new factory not being built in Washington like Boeing's other factory where you must join the union.

However, did you ever hear that the suit was dropped?

Neither did I.

The Machinists convinced the NLRB to drop the suit after they secured a new contract with Boeing.

So Boeing is operating their South Carolina factory. On April 27^th Boeing rolled out their first aircraft created at the SC factory. With all the trouble Washington state, the Union, and the feds gave Boeing, I just love the fact that they did not stamp the plane with "Made in the USA" but instead:

MADE WITH PRIDE
IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Trying To Look Bad?

Is the Department of Education trying to make themselves look bad? Why do they have a blog headline aligning themselves with a racist? What if I told you that they turned to David Duke for help in fixing the education system? Well it isn't Duke. But this is the headline for their blog entry:

Duncan Enlists Sharpton’s Civil Rights Network in Education Reform

Why did they phrase it like that?

This posting is from a "Guest Blogger." I am assuming the post was written by Kimberly Watkins-Foote, Director of African American Communications and Outreach. She is mentioned as a tag line at the bottom, but official credit is given to "Guest Blogger." Are guest bloggers' posts vetted? Because this post is a bit, ... charged.

What happened is that Secretary Arne Duncan spoke at the National Action Network’s 14th Annual Convention. It is Al Sharpton's organization. Why didn't they use the organization name? It could go by unnoticed by some people. I wouldn't have noticed.

NAN is not working with the Department of Education officially or monetarily from what I can tell through this blog post. Unfortunately what Duncan does is he twists education into a civil rights movement concept. I have not yet been able to find a video of the speech or a transcript, but what is presented is reframing education in a civil rights vein.

The study about disciplinary actions, teacher experience and pay, and available classes and how minorities get the worst of it is cited, again. I've already told you what I think the problem is : teachers, the teacher's union, and government. The holy trinity that can do no wrong.

Duncan goes on to state that due to the treatment of minorities in school that it becomes the "school-to-prison pipeline." The historic desegregation of schools was definitely a good thing, but what is happening now is the incompetency of government and not a civil rights catastrophe. Doesn't Duncan know that the problem he is complaining about was created by the same organization he wants to fix it?

Learning Teaching is too Hard

NOTE : Some links require a free sign up to PJTV, for now. The links will disappear soon without a subscription.

Government regulations are a burden on private industry. It costs money and can make no sense. If you defy the government you get fined or go to jail.

But if you are employed by the government, you just might defy their regulations; that is, government defies government. It turns out that teachers in Idaho feel it is unreasonable to get 100% proficiency in math and reading, so they simply will not do it.

This should not be surprising. To get lazy about teaching would be to make most of the learning happen at home, with homework. How does it get worse than that. Don't assign homework so that it does not get figured into part of the grade.

Don't teach in school. Don't teach at home. Are there no standards?

Believe it or not, there is hope, and in the most hopeless city: Detroit. The citizens voted that there could be no preferential treatment for college admission based on race, sex, or national origin. Basically, in Detroit, smart is smart. Dumb is not elevated on non-cerebral qualities; the same qualities behind previously mentioned topics. But the government is fighting the public will because it considers it unfair for one race to be as smart as another.

These are muddy waters. Throw in unions and what have you got? Unions have become parasitically destructive instead of symbiotic. The recent noise in Wisconsin shows how the unions are destructive to education by supporting seniority over quality.

Weed out the federal government and unions from education. Keep politics local. What a novel idea; the neighborhood interest is the neighborhood's interest.
