wo
reports -- ironically, both from the same source (the WSJ) on the same
day -- point to continuing problems for the union movement.
The first is the great news out of North Carolina of a defeat for the pernicious teachers' unions. Republican Governor Pat McCrory just signed a bill that ends K-12 teacher tenure and ends the practice of giving teachers an automatic raise for getting a Master's degree. Both reforms are, in my view, quite defensible.
Both reforms, of course, were vociferously opposed by the rent-seekers -- or rather "the teachers." Hundreds of them turned out to show their anger. One teacher mewed that "[m]orale is going to be at an all-time low" because of the reforms. He added -- in a moment of unintended comedy -- that "[t]he best and the brightest aren't going to go into the profession." Like they are now.
