Being a teacher I was never a big Union supporter but seeing how the nepotism and political favoritism ruled the district it was all we had to back us. They even sold us out after a two week strike years ago. And we were forced to join or pay 75% of the dues anyway. On one occasion early in my career I had a situation where I might have needed their help but took care of it myself. But again if you needed some legal backing they were there for you.
This thing in AC is so stupid its got me crazy. I have the feeling that this may be my last gig there after a long run. This management company is probably billing the Realtors more for the unloading BS then I'm getting paid. So next year we're both out of a gig. Another strike against us.
