I used to negotiate teachers' union contracts with school boards. Some
of the school boards hired terrorists to handle their side of the
negotiations.

Sorry. *I couldn't help myself.

Yeah, teachers should have remained grossly underpaid and subject to
being fired by administrators on a whim.

Firing on a whim is a fairy tale. * My wife (an ex teacher) has told me
numerous horror stories about incompetent teachers keeping their jobs
because of the union. *The District tried to get rid of these teachers
with no luck.

Because you are not aware of teachers being fired on a whim doesn't mean
it didn't or doesn't happen.

Teachers should be able to be fired for misconduct or incompetence, as any
employee (union or not) should.

What my wife saw was incompetent teachers keeping their jobs because of the
union.- Hide quoted text -
