This chapter narrowed it down to the early struggles and the birth of the teacher unions. It’s been a long time since teacher unions were established, but teacher’s wages and their right to organize as public servants are being debuted, still today. You have a bill in Ohio being considered and protests in Wisconsin all on the basis of collective bargaining. Those places may seem far, but we all need to be worried. This can cause a domino effect if these bills are passed in those states. And hit close to home.
Unions for the purpose of school teachers are essential in America because of their mission to protect teachers and the public right to an education. Teachers help bring the best out of children and in my opinion they should be among the highest paid professionals, like other successful school systems found around the world.
