Teachers and Unions.

Teachers throughout this country should have the ability to organize and collectively bargain for better pay, working conditions (i.e. class size), as well as, to allow for their own initiatives and programs to be heard and considered. States that allow teachers collective bargaining rights have a fair better/easier time attracting and retaining good teachers, and while I am certainly not saying that there are no issues of concern regarding abuse of the rules by unions. I feel that these criticisms may be overstated, because if they were as wide spread as some would claim; the government, backed by vast popular support, would step in to either sanction or disband them for their actions.
Just as I feel that every teacher has the right of participating in a union of collective bargaining power, I do not feel that people should be require to pay any membership fees to an organization that they have an ideological disagreement with. All I am advocating is for a system that gives the freedom for unions to exist for those who would like to benefit from the use of their services.
