Here in Quebec we always get that same argument that teachers unions are in the end the safeguard of our education system, status quo. A new political party (http://www.coalitionavenir.org/ http://www.coalitionavenir.org/) proposed an option to increase teacher's accountability. They proposed an automatic salary raise of 35% to all of Quebec public school teachers but in exchange unions had to drop seniority, let schools evaluate teachers each year and give them the possibility to lay-off the rotten tomatoes. Guess what was the unions response to this fair deal ... NEVER. You can make your own conclusion... Unions are not even fighting for their members they are fighting for their own survival.
