The teachers (union) doesn’t like the fact that performance is tied to their compensation. The bill isn’t perfect but its certainly a step in the right direction.
Crist will most likely veto the bill though. He’s having a hissy fit with the Florida GOP because they won’t just give him the senate ticket.
Win-win for the GOP. If Crist doesn’t veto, then it gets passed and the teachers’ union is diminished. If he does, then he’s finished in Republican politics forever.
Plus, the spectacle of teachers striking is never good for them.
