My point is that teachers need a union because if I had to negotiate my contract individually, I would get eaten alive. You can't on one hand say that teachers are different from stock brokers, then turn around and say they should be treated like every private sector employee.
We're not private sector. We operate under completely different circumstances. How many of you have ever gotten a pay cut because your management was trying to score cheap populist points before an election? How many of you have ended up in the papers because of allegations of misconduct at work? How many of you have your performance standards set not by the industry or the market, but by politicians?
