Americans used to be smart and logical and tough. The teachers did this ultimately. The unions are refusing to follow the law or the Constitution. I think the entirety of teacher's unions should be deemed enemy combatants. Teachers should quit now, en masse, or be deemed enemies of the state. That is all.

No No No No No!!!!! Big changes are needed, but a good union makes life better for employees. (I am sure we can both provide good and bad examples, I am saying a good union.)
We do not need unions. Period.
I wonder what type of work you do (please don't dox). Delivering for Coca Cola (non union in the city I lived in), I watched the Pepsi drivers average 10k more a year. I also saw them work less hours. As a teacher I worked as both union and non union (as I am right now I quit because of how they used my dues to support Biteme). The union teachers just got another step in pay because of the work the union did. Any organization can be corrupt, as can any profession. Scot Walker threw teachers under the bus. I found out I'm paid too much (not true, I have had to work a second job to make ends meet). I also learned I work less than 40 hours (not true, I average 50hours during the school year, and get lots of time during the summer). IMO - Unions look like a mixed bag of fruit.
Good unions grow up to be bad unions.
Unions are, by definition, socialist and corrupt. Get rid of them.
Really? What are we supposed to do, hope that most rich people will suddenly think of paying their employees instead of putting their money in their pockets? When is the last time you looked up the actual civil servant pay and said we need to pay our teachers, police officers, or civil servants more? Please dig if you do, when you read "... average pay in X state" remeber this includes the big cities. The highest paid teachers in my district are still 15k below "the average" reported in the news... I also want to add: the insurance is no longer "awesome". I am taking home less right now then I did 10 years ago.
