Human Nature

 So in 1999 the Fairfield teachers Union went on strike because they said the contract was unacceptable . They were upset with the small pay increase and a clause in the contract that allowed them to be accused of whatever yet never be able to face their accuser . When the local media asked the teachers and the union reps they made it very clear this was not about the money it was about the "accuser clause". The strike went on and the school district finally gave in on the clause and removed it from the contract. That is when the teachers and their union made it clear what the strike was really about, it was the money, they wanted more money, they didnt give a crap about the clause, it was about the money. So when someone says its not about the money, it is about the money.
