Schools are not private sector; there are no CEOs. Public sector unions are vile, and if you don't like the pay as a public servant, leave for the private sector. Join a union there if you want to.
The distinction between Unions being legal in one vs the other is artificial. One could make the case that a Union of public servants could have some limits put on them, and that has happened. You could argue that more are needed, and that's evidently true. But banishing Unions altogether for public servants, while pretending that doesn't serve to dismantle Unions in the private sector is laughably naive.
A job is still a job. A working stiff is still a working stiff. Upper management still gets ridiculously more money for doing ridiculously less. Nothing has ever tackled that problem as effectively as a Union. That hasn't been effective for many decades, which doesn't mean Unions should be destroyed. It means the problem should be fixed.
Collectively bargaining with your employer for produced wealth is in no way similar to collectively bargaining with bureaucrats to confiscate wealth from taxpayers who have no choice but to pay up, and whose land and homes will be taken by force when they no longer can. Want to serve the public? Time to make some sacrifices. Most of these public sector Unions are fundraising operations for the damned Democrats anyway. I wish American ideals still held sway in America, but we seem to have been taken over by pathetic socialists. I feel more and more isolated by the day dealing with this idiocy and weakness.

This is an artificial distinction. It's merely an attempt to remove Unions entirely. There are better solutions.
The distinction between private sector and government is artificial? Did you wander out of r/socialism?
