Courageous heroes or just another bunch of 'union thugs'?

[Omaha Steve]

The teachers in Newtown, Connecticut who shielded their students from bullets with their own bodies were members of Local 1727 of the American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO.

Keep that in mind when you hear the phrase "union thugs."

3. Thanks for that post

I've been saying this since the tragedy.

just like 9-11-01, union members ran toward the danger to help others and to do their jobs.

Teachers, fire-fighters, police, EMT's and many others are union members and that should be kept in mind when people try to denigrate unions.
