If you are wondering why so many citizens are calling the WTU liars today, maybe you should recall that one of the union members got up and stated in September "...Be careful what you wish for. If you reduce this to raw power, you aren’t going to like it. You don’t have the power – we do, whenever we decide to flex it. You cannot run this district without us. You can’t replace us all. We can shut down the district any day we want.” Mike Pierce - WTU member. Both days have been a sick out and planned.

To continue in this all out war is not helping WTU, the WSC, the students, the parents, the teachers or the taxpayers. The all or nothing mentality does not work. Neither side SHOULD walk away with all their demands met. That isn't contract negotiation. This is an adversarial approach that is detrimental to everyone involved. Please, both sides, come together and close this chapter.
