So what if they're the most politically outspoken union in the province. I'd debate that, since it's such a subjective statement nonethless who cares? By defenition they will be intrested in getting more money, regardless of goverment, and goverments have every right to not give them all the money in the world. Personally I think they're very recent shift in tactics, that is less obviously partisan and calls for barging in good faith is fair.

And of course they're going to use kids as a chip, in your language. Because they're teachers, they teach kids all the time, teaching revolve around kids! They have no way of avoiding it.

Should they say oh "who cares about class sizes, we don't! Just give us some more money, lest we look like we're using kids." It's completely un-avoidable. It would be like a Nurses union avoiding any talk about paitents. Or when the Doctors want more money avoiding any talk about paitents. It's completely un-realistic!

And yeah some members of their union that don't like them. This isn't suprising. It's not like any and all orginizations have completely happy members. My mom's a member of a private sector union, and while she'd prefer to have a union as opposed to not having one, she thinks (and I agree with her) that her union local is stupid. Lots of organizations have stupid/annoying people, such is life.
