COACHES THREATEN RESIGNATION

· Tuesday, June 17, 2003 · 1 comment

WaPo reports that “650 coaches and club sponsors in the Anne Arundel County [Maryland] public school system said they will resign from their positions if school board officials approve salary freezes.” While I have no knowledge of the merits of their grievance, I find the threat rather amusing. With the exception of the handful of most successful football and basketball coaches, these people are instantly replaceable and have virtually no bargaining power.

    Plus, resigning guarantees a worse economic income than a salary freeze. Duh.

    But then again, these are public school employees.
