Warwick teachers are paid a fair wage for a day's work. They work hard, and are compensated accordingly. Therefore, why is there still a need for a "teachers' union"? Public sector unions outlived their usefulness about 40 years ago, yet no one in city government has demonstrated the testicular fortitude to say so. As long as public sector unions continue to be recognized but gutless pols, these problems will only get worse. Government employees should have been moved to a defined contribution plan 15-20 years ago, much like the Dreaded Private Sector. The notion that taxpayers are on the hook for retiree paychecks AND health insurance for their life expectancy is nothing short of obscene. And the fault does not lie with retirees and future retirees, bur rather with gutless politicians who agreed to this doomsday scenario, and are now..."aghast".
