1. Cross posting here...
At another OP ,the Myth of the Selfish Striker, I just compared a sentence from that article to teacher's unions:

"The anti-union lobby claims that it doesn't mind unions as long as they're responsible, but it's more accurate to say they don't mind unions as long as they're ineffective. They'd be happy if a union was like a church group, and told its members, "We've all been given a 40 percent wage cut, so in response, we're going to have some lovely Madeira cake and a game of whist.""

Just had to repeat it here...

We need a separate grass roots teachers' union, and a nationwide teachers' strike...

K&R of course...
