RANDI THE SQUEAKY WHEEL

A funny, spot-on editorial from the NY Post (though in fairness, Randi's just doing her job -- and she's good at it):

Were the city to grant Weingarten & Co. their every wish --  smaller classes, greater say, an apple on every teacher's desk -- no doubt  they'd find something else about which to complain.
 
But remember: Weingarten, above all, is a politician within  her union -- measured by how loudly she squawks for better pay and working conditions, regardless of how good they already are.
 
When Chancellor Joel Klein recently announced that a one-time prosecutor would be heading up a peer-review process to identify failing teachers, Weingarten went into melodrama overdrive -- calling the idea “a stake in the heart of every teacher."

NY Post, November 25, 2007 --

Sometimes you really wish, with all due respect, that teachers-union boss Randi Weingarten would give it a rest.
