From my experience reviewing school districts’ finances, I find that districts are swamped with qualified teacher applicants for each opening (openings usually the result of teacher retirements). It ranges from 20 applicants per opening to literally HUNDREDS of applicants per slot — depending on the school district — with minimal advertising or recruitment. Whatever happened to the union myth about the coming “teacher shortage”?

And let’s remember that 2 years after being hired, teachers have DE FACTO lifetime tenure except for some criminal acts.

Given the supply/demand situation, teachers can be expected to pay their “fair share” for their pensions with no dropoff in teacher quality (the is zero correlation NOW of pay and quality). Don’t you just LOVE to use “fair share” when describing what teachers should pay towards their OWN retirement?

“So, in a rational world, the teachers’ unions would appear to be trapped, likely to face a permanent cut in take-home pay of about 10 percent.”

Only if you presume an offsetting pay raise in the next union contract can’t happen.

I don’t see anything about the unfunded health care. Employers are paying ( a union run non profit) to manage health care with no open bids to see if it is reasonable. Also written into union contracts that the employer must uses this (union dominated) group to provide health care insurance, and the employee’s (union member) doesn’t pay anything for this perk.
