A Sign from Heaven?
Members of the United Educators of San Francisco (UESF) voted to authorize a strike if a contract settlement cannot be reached. Well, not all of them, because of the estimated 6,000 members, only 2,500 bothered to vote. But I digress.
UESF President Dennis Kelly described for the San Francisco Chronicle his experience at the last strike vote in 1979:
"The teachers union last held a strike vote in 1979 -- also in Kezar Pavilion. Kelly was an English teacher then. On Wednesday, he recalled sitting in the audience looking at the union's leaders seated at a table in the front, beams of light from the windows shining down on them. 'I remember pointing out to people that the light was shining on them like in a medieval painting,' Kelly said. 'You knew they had to be right.'"
Perhaps, but maybe it was God's way of giving them the third degree.
