I must say that I find that this simply cannot be true. If the teacher's union had any power whatsoever, why, oh why, would they be making less than $24,000 a year for teaching our children? Why would "No Child Left Behind" have not been heavily protested?
While I do know that the teachers union
can protect poor teachers, I cannot for the life of me remember ever reading anything about it in any media or in my experience with teachers. Fortunately, my uncle has been both a teacher and been in administration, which gives him a balanced understanding of the system. Even he is aware at the lack of power that teachers really have.
No, I would venture a guess that your post has a lot more to do with allegiance to administration and dismissal of the usefulness of unions, not facts.
