People think Teachers Unions support education and students. WRONG! Teachers Unions represent the interests of it's members [education employees]. They don't care about kids or education.
It’s pretty infuriating watching them subvert public opinion solely to enrich themselves. I’m in a union and we’re always hyper focused on our service delivery, whereas the teachers union is just constantly bitching and threatening to strike if they don’t get their way. And their objective isn’t to provide a better service, it’s to protect themselves from any type of performance measurement while they take higher and higher benefit packages.
I understand completely why people dislike public unions.
That is because your private sector union has a mutual interest in keeping your company afloat. There is no such interest in public sector unions. They have no incentive to keep the quality of their labor high because their jobs will always be funded. Even FDR was strongly against public sector unions because of this.
I am a public union but I understand your point. We do have an interest in fiscal responsibility as our funds are from property taxes and any year could flip the budget on its head (see 2020). That being said there always seems to be more and more money in the federal budget for the teachers unions to milk out.
