I posted this in the baseball thread 1st but it made me think how will this workout in other areas long term:

Let me state for the record I am in full support of the teachers because they, and others, got a raw deal. It's a crap deal cooked up in the back kitchen and served to them by politicians that I hope by deer season are cleaning out their offices.

Now to the fallout that effects what we discuss on this site: sports. I see a lot of school closings daily for a long while. What is going to happen to the spring sports programs? Teams have multiple games per week scheduled. If schools are closed no one will be there to prepare fields, do paperwork and checks for umpires, work gates, drive buses, etc. There will not be any games.

Fast forward to the start of football in the summer. Will this have an effect on the upcoming season?

What exactly is it that is so bad or has changed?
Pretty much the only difference I can tell from reading up on it is that you can't horde sick days anymore (no normal person can) and new teachers, not existing ones, have to enroll in a flexible spending plan.

To be honest, from an outsider's perspective it appears Bevin saved teachers retirement but that isn't what is being portrayed.
