"The teachers simply did not see the value in the representation the union was offering," Vernuccio said. Public union goons across the country are losing sleep over this state and how it is playing out.
Most teachers are good people but are trapped in a system they can't control.
If the law makers give them an option, most will do what the teachers in WI are doing. Way to go Scott Walker.

Act 10 limited collective bargaining rights for public employees and required public unions to have an annual vote to recertify. I would love to see this spread to ALL Unions.

Maybe once teachers are no longer part of a union they’ll start to think like the professionals they’re supposed to be.
Instead of using every sick day and personal day, as most of the younger ones now do, (not all of them, but most of them) they’ll start realizing that they have a responsibility to do their best for the students and for their schools.
Unions bring teachers down to a lowest common denominator by supporting the incompetent ones. If the decertification of the union results in an administrator being able to sit a teacher down and tell him that if he doesn’t shape up he’s gone, you’ll see a lot of shaping up in a hurry. And the best teachers will welcome that change. They don’t like the slackers either, because the good ones are the ones that have to pick up the slack.
All in all, if there was no such thing as a teachers union, teachers would find themselves behaving more professionally across the board and respect for them would return to what it once was. Parents might even start assuming the teacher is right and not their kid once again, the way it used to be.
If I had my way (I don’t), the best teachers would be given additional responsibilities and would make more money than they now do. The bad ones would shape up or be told to find another job. Before Act 10, that was pie in the sky. Now, it’s actually possible. That alone makes it a great law.

There's the money quote:
"The teachers simply did not see the value in the representation the union was offering," Vernuccio said.
It always comes down to getting the most utility for your last dollar spent.
