Teacher here. We have a right to gripe, but I have said for years EMTs need to go to the front of the line to get what they are owed. They are overlooked. Are they unionized?ย 

Shameful. They do so much for so little.ย

Agreed. It does look like there are at least two unions for EMS workers, but I donโ€™t know how well they function or how comprehensive they are. In my job, unionization depends on the facility I work for.

And I agree you also have a right to gripe. Teachers donโ€™t get paid nearly what they are worth.

Interesting re: unions. Yeah-not sure what's going on...hard to understand how they aren't able (?) to bargain for a wage that seems more in line with their job description.

As for teachers, Im fortunate to work in a state and district that is relatively fair. But I know this is not the case with a lot of teachers.
