A mother, an uncle and a cousin all being teachers it's been a sobering experience seeing the interplay between them, their union, and anyone not a member of those groups. Unions by their very nature should be self serving to their members, but for public jobs like school teachers there's a conflict of interest in many cases I find. In this case the substitutes are getting screwed and the union is turning a blind eye.In their case I'd sue the school district. Let them find the money somehow if it's owed. Trim the expense budget of the superintendent of the school district, they're usually inflated all to heck anyway.</blockquote>
