What is it with the main teacher unions? How come they are so hard left, childish and pathetic? How did teachers allow their unions to be taken over by petulant lefties with the attitudes of spotty student union activists?

From the article:
"...
Kevin Courtney, the joint general secretary of the NEU, told teachers in the meantime: “Don’t engage with planning a June 1 return to wider opening. Await further union advice.”
Unison, which represents school support staff, agreed. Jon Richards, its head of education, tweeted that he would work with other unions to agree a joint position and “until then we advise members not to engage with planning for a June 1 return.”"
Utterly dismal and completely pathetic! "Don't engage" - student union politics in a nutshell.
What are the miserable and puerile unions complaining about? Danish and French schools have gone back. English schools have a whole three weeks to prepare for the limited return to school advertised by the Government. How did the many decent teachers allow their unions to be grabbed by petulant and childish ideologues out to prove a stupid point instead of getting on with the job they are paid to do?
