Teachers in OK, as in CA and across the nation, need and deserve respect & a livable wage. This does nothing to address the needs of educators and students. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
