My sister is a teacher. Her district is doing optional online or in person instruction, and the district is looking for teachers to "volunteer" for the in person stuff. They're not getting many. How about fucking pay them? For some reason we love to pretend that the basics of microeconomics don't apply to teachers. I'm sure a temporary 50% hazard pay bump would get a bunch of "volunteers" in short order. I think we're past the altruism phase.“In April, we were called heroes and people were saying we need raises. Now we’re called lazy because we just want to be safe doing our jobs.”
