wow, that's kinda like extortion. Some guy shows up at my house, mows my lawn without me asking him to, then tacks a bill to my door. Then the city government automatically deducts the money from my checking account.

I protest but am told that he doesn't have to continue mowing my lawn, but the city will still keep taking money out of my account anyway.

Now a collective bargaining agreement might help some teachers (those with tenure who have been in the system a long time), but it also hurts new teachers. The "last in first out" policy means young, dynamic, effective teachers are let go so that old, ineffective, unethical teachers can enjoy fat paychecks and job security.

The teacher's union in Illinois essentially operates like a cartel. The movie "Waiting for Superman" illustrates the plight of students in systems like this.
