Union lunch?
that's actually a fun one to compare, regarding teaching unions
my first job was in north carolina, essentially no union there - my lunch was 20 minutes long and i was on duty during it, sitting 10 feet away from a thousand 13 year olds, tasked with ensuring none of them stood up, talked loudly, threw fritos at each other or generally had fun. here in washington, my union's much stronger than back east (and spent decades fighting for off-duty lunches), and i get 30 minutes to be myself and not an employee (though, since i don't lock my door, a large gang usually shows up in my room anyway and i mix giving them good-natured crap along with spraying and reading actual news).
it's no suprise i don't work in north carolina anymore
