Speaking about that oh-so-honorable Teamsters Union there has been a really disruptive strike in Providence ,Rhode Island of school bus drivers -now in its fourth day :
[ " As the walkout entered its fourth day, Mayor Jorge Elorza called a meeting with members of Teamsters Local 251 to discuss possible solutions for 1,000 students with disabilities whose Individualized Education Programs include transportation " . ]
Democratic Mayor Elorza here is showing phony solicitude for " special needs " students . In a way ALL public school students have a special need for a high quality education.
The public schools in Providence are almost as dilapidated-and UNHEALTHY - as those in Detroit. Is that a concern of the mayor ? Does breathing asbestos and drinking lead poisoned water do any favors for those " special needs " kids ?
Don't count on the Teamsters Union here do anything very honorable for the striking bus drivers or the public school students.
