    Should office workers get worse conditions because of your career choice? If work from home is so important to you, why not get an office job?

      No.

      I literally said it’s great to see them get a benefit.

      That doesn’t mean it doesn’t sting when you see other industries seeing improvements, while your own is constantly treated like shit. And I work in early childhood education, if we all just left that would fuck over the children and risk their lives.

        Just like any other strike ends up hurting someone, gotta break eggs to make an omelette.

        People who do your job go on strike every few years around here and the parents have to take the slack, it’s not your problem.

        Would you be thinking of the children if you were asked to do your job for free? Hell no.

          To reinforce this, if my kids school system went on strike I would be behind it 100%.

          It would fucking suck for us, but educators deserve better and I want them to get it.
