Striking teachers block access to Mexico City airport why are they on strike this week which is the start of their academic year??/ President Enrique Pena Nieto pushed through Congress changes to the constitution in December in order to put education, which was in the hands of powerful unions, back under government control and require teachers to undergo mandatory performance appraisals. Lawmakers are now debating legislation that would implement the new laws, which have prompted protests and strikes in the southern states of Michoacan, Guerrero and Oaxaca in recent months. The teachers say the tests should only be used to help them improve, not to fire them or decide promotions. The union that called the protests urged lawmakers to suspend the debate and enter into negotiations with teachers. More than 70,000 teachers went on strike in southern Mexico, leaving more than one million children without classes at the start of the school year this week. just imagine a work force without a UNION!!!!!!!!!! you either take it or GO
