There are two sides to every discussion. It seems that you only see one side. Please listen and value what the people are saying. In my opinion, teachers, nurses, doctors, EMTs, police, firefighters, etc... should not strike. They are providing needed services to their communities. Yes! They need and deserve a fair wage according to their area of residence. There has to be some give and take on both sides. But, many people are depending on them. If it is a calling, the teacher, nurse, doctor, EMT... MUST remember that fact and don't strike.
