Yup! In this day (2012), the teachers' unions are nothing but political arms of the left. Not only are they not needed but they are detrimental to education. However, back in the late 60's when it became legal for teachers here in NYS to bargain with their employers, theunion was instrumental in helping teachers improve their lot in life. But now-they are just political organizations.
But, over the years I have found that people who attack teachers have no clue about what a teacher's job involves. And, I've also learned that vocal critics of teachers (like you, Jay) would NEVER have been successful in the classroom! You wouldn't have made it through a full day without hiding under your desk and crying for someone to rescue you.
I've worked on farms, piled green lumber off the tail of a large saw mill, worked for a veterinarian and stocked shelves and bagged groceries in a supermarket at night to get through college. So how do I know about what it's like to be a teacher? I'll let you figure it out if you can, without the help of a teacher!
