Fairness

I do not quite understand what is going on in Michigan with their union legislation right now.  Similar to Wisconsin?  Despite the fact the Republicans are in control in Michigan, I don't think that gives them the right to vote in things that so many people disagree with.  There still needs to be a sense of fairness and compromise.  I get some people don't like unions because they think unions are selfish for their desire to get their employees benefits and pay raises.  But why can't the US have a fairly compensated work force?  Because big businesses want to save money and don't want to put that extra cash toward retirement and benefits and pay.  Or is there another reason?  Has the public agreed that yes, school teachers are indeed getting paid too much?  After my 5 years of teaching making at most $35,000, that can hardly be called "getting paid too much." Every year I taught, I needed a second job.  Unions would not be needed if we could trust business bosses to care just as much about their employees as they did about profit.

Today my goal is to study diction and write the rest of my thesis.  Yes, you saw that correctly.  Write the rest of my thesis.  If it doesn't happen, I'll need to finish it on Thursday.  So close.
