I'm not in a Union, but my parents were both public school teachers.

I remember as a little kid being on the picket line with them when the East Baton Rouge Parish teachers went on strike. I don't even know if they got what they wanted, but I learned what a Union was.

Sorry to see the open war on y'all waged by the GOP. Hope this election begins to calm all that anti-Union noise.

Keep up the good fight.
