Hi Humans,
Have you been reading about the teachers strike in Chicago. Apparently the main issue is not just wages, but rather about teacher seniority. The administration believes the seniority system blocks principals from putting performance ahead of seniority in order to better serve the students. The teachers say that allows principals to be promote their favorites and punish those who disagree with them or speak up. This is not a unique situation peculiar to the Chicago schools or for that matter to only schools. The unions are a necessary part of modern capitalism, but they do at times get in the way of progress. But large administrations, whether government or private corporations can be equally destructive. Both unions and administrations need to look at the products they are producing as well as the compensation they are receiving. It is a difficult problem, but you humans are going to have to figure it out.
