Unions in public eduction

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124683510050697845.html

Read this article on the former union boss of the NYC school system.

Once government takes over an industry (like education) and it subsequently gets unionized it is hard to ever get the train back on track. In the competitive business world unions tend to simply kill their host companies - and the non-union companies take their places. But government-run businesses are much harder to kill - they simply get more and more bloated and continue to pass the increasing costs on to the taxpayer.
