"You don’t have the power – we do, whenever we decide to flex it...We can shut down the district any day we want.”

-Warwick Teacher’s Union member Mike Pierce

And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. The living embodiment of public sector union mentality. If the school committee or superintendent had an ounce of testicular fortitude they would cease to recognize this bunch of thugs and put all negotiations on hold until June, at which point they would begin hiring new teachers. While Mr. Pierce's comments are both appalling and revealing, they clearly typify why public sector unions have long outlived their usefulness. Taxpayers take note: Some of the highest paid public servants in the region, those who portend to have your childrens' best interest at heart, are fully prepared to "...shut down the district any day they want." How very...........professional.
