As a teacher, and proud union member (NEA - National Education Association), I take pretty strong offense from that.As others have pointed out, unions are organizations filled with humans (by nature, flawed humans), and certainly can be bureaucratic, incompetent, and corrupt . . . just like corporations, government agencies, and even non-profits. No organization is perfect, and certainly some organizations have serious issues.But there is no way in hell I'll ever teach in any school that isn't unionized through the NEA or the AFT (American Federation of Teachers), the two largest teachers unions in the US. Neither of which is perfect, but neither of which is corrupt.</blockquote>
