About 160 instructors and others get salaries for doing nothing while their job fitness is reviewed. They collect roughly $10 million a year, even as layoffs are considered because of a budget gap.

In New York City public schools, which make up the country's largest district, teachers are confined to "rubber rooms." About 550 of the district's 80,000 teachers spend school hours "literally just doing crossword puzzles, waiting for the end of the day" until their cases are resolved, spokeswoman Ann Forte said. Some have been there for years.

...and we will get more of this crap if the bill passes to discontinue 'secret ballots' in determining if a business goes union.

Kingman, I agree with you, but this is more than a "union" problem. Our court system has failed to accept common sense. The legal profession has taken control of the courts for their own benefit. "The Public be D..." is the motto. I would like to see the president go after the legal profession like he has the finance profession. Won't happen, but it would be interesting.
