It does not follow from the separation of planning and doing in the analysis of work that the planner and the doer should be two different people. It does not follow that the industrial world should be divided into two classes of people: a few who decide what is to be done, design the job, set the pace, rhythm and motions, and order others about; and the many who do what and as they are told.
It has been said, and only half in jest, that a tough, professionally led union is a great force for improving management performance. It forces the manager to think about what he is doing and to be able to explain his actions and behavior.
This is a free country, so as private citizens, union leaders have every right to support whoever they wish and to march for whatever causes they champion – on their own time and their own dime. However, they do not have the right to push their social, sexual and political agenda off the backs of teachers, behind our backs and against our wills, while bullying us into submission.
