Claim: "Taking away collective bargaining rights puts safety at risk"..............?

Negotiate, which is what you are supposed to do with a union. Agree to limit pensions to only those over age 65, in exchange for not raising their benefit contributions any higher than the COLA. Agree to raise starting salaries in exchange for non-tenure contracts for teachers.

These are just my suggestions, but I'm sure others can come up with other manners of compromise that would help both sides. Of course, you have to start from the basis that unions are not evil and that there is SOME validity to the complaints about them. Hating either side for spurious reasons will keep the problem fixed in cement.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
