I also have some issues with teachers' unions enabling bad teachers to keep their jobs. So, I am interested to see how things go in WI.

I grew up in a union family father, grandfather uncles etc but when though times hit everyone needs to play by the same rules. the union does not allow that. my DH had taken furlough weeks, pay cut, decreased company contrubution to his 401k etc all to keep people from being laid off from his company. If they were union it would not have been allowed and a big chunk of people would be laid off.
I agree with Beth

Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you're stupid and make bad decisions
