If you think about it, American teachers are the most obvious example of why unionization doesn't necessarily improve anything at all. An average class of 24 costs just short of $700k per year to the citizens of New York City and the cost is rising rapidly every year. Meanwhile, teachers are supposed to be underpaid, overworked and exploited.
I guess teachers are supposed to take solace in the fact they are very powerful.

It's not like the whole system is a magical black box that just does what it does and there is no way of knowing what is going on.
