Another Tiny Morsel About Unions

I watched a movie yesterday -- The Lottery about charter schools in NYC.  I'm not a huge fan of charter schools as I'd like every school to be amazing...

But I did learn this.

It costs 250k of taxpayer dollars to fire a teacher.

I'm not surprised, there is litigation up the yang when a teacher needs to be fired and they're unionized.

Not right, not right at all.

I am NOT for employers being able to fire willy-nilly... but if there's documented just cause then action needs to be taken.

Oddly enough, it doesn't cost much at all to lay off a great less senior teacher.  I happen to be sleeping around with one of those....
