Over the years, we have often reported on the absurdity of many union complaints, but when a union of teachers objects to a ruling that would protect their health, one knows that the union movement has invaded and occupied the surrealistic world of Alice in Wonderland.
The Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties has stated that it will file an unfair labor practices complaint because there is a ban on smoking at state colleges and universities.
Smoking!
Cancer!
Who could possibly be in favor of the right to contract a deadly disease?
The union represents 6,000 faculty members at 14 state universities in Pennsylvania. Of those 6,000 faculty members, there are numerous athletic coaches. Could they possibly be in favor of young athletes darkening their lungs with tar and nicotine, diminishing their endurance by curtailing the capacity of young lungs to inhale sufficient quantities of oxygen?
One can only imagine a judge’s reaction to the filing of the union’s complaint.
And the labor movement, having grown increasingly superfluous, has simply confirmed its lack of purpose amongst working-class Americans.
