One does not need to ignore the principle of free association to correct the disaster of national unions. All that is truly needed is to correct the NRLA to remove its protections against targeting unions for monopolistic behavior. That always was an abomination of "equal protection." Making unions competitve in the business of supplying skilled labor would accomplish many of the goals associated with school choice.
As to the "Ed degree," the biggest problem is the lack of accountability for accreditation of college degrees. IMO it would be better to demand an enforceable and insured guarantee from anyone granting certification.
You are full of it. Are you a teacher?

Yep! If businesses are not allowed to be monopolies, neither should unions.
The problem with teacher unions is not NLRA monopoly protections but their cooption of the political process.
Public employees have no inherent right to workplace association. Even if they did, they should be subject to Hatch Act-type prohibitions against politicking individually and collectively.
