In Talcahuano, eighteen teachers were dismissed from the municipal system after leaving the country while on medical leave.
In response to this measure, the Teachers’ Union expressed concern for the continuity of educational programs.
This statement is an outstanding example of lefty hypocrisy:
The Union’s “concern” is not for the educational program, already presumably affected by these absent teachers on phony sick leave; its directed towards their unfortunate ex-comrades who lost their jobs because they were caught cheating the system.
Serves them right, imho.
A proper response would have condemned the irresponsible and selfish behaviour of those teachers who, by absenting themselves from their work with false illness claims, negatively affected educational programs.
But not in Chile, especially not from that lot
