diminish hard head labor raise single teacher texas union value wants welcome work
I don't know of a single teacher in Texas who wouldn't welcome the possibility of getting a raise of $10,000, and if the head of a labor union wants to demean and diminish the hard work and the value of teachers, then he or she should be ashamed.
