To be fair, teachers should be treated in the same manner as their leader Jimmie-P Hoffa should be treated.
They are all in the same Army, so treat them the same.
They seem to like the military analogy. How about we pay them the same as an incoming Army private and truly make them move up in rank before hitting higher pay grades? Liberals seem to believe our soldiers are paid too well, and have great benefits - perhaps it would open their eyes just a bit.
Not all teachers are in a union. Many are not, especially in the right to work states.
