Let's just say my belief in my own ability to get myself a contract with a large school district that would be to my advantage, if I were working on my own, is small to non-existent. My "rights" to free choice in the workplace mean didly squat if I can't get myself a good contract. Sure I could hire a good lawyer, or God forbid read a few nolo press books and represent myself, but I don't think I'd find that really enjoyable. If I did, I'd be in employment law, and not teaching. I don't WANT to do the stuff unions do. I don't WANT to spend my free time organizing employees. I don't have a high level of trust in anyone. I just feel I would be more screwed without a union than with one, especially when I consider I would be wasting my free time to do stuff the union does now. I don't think the people handling our mutual funds are acting in our interest either. But quite frankly, I don't want to do the buying and selling of the stocks. It doesn't interest me and I'm no good at it. So I willingly let people do it for me. I don't really see a super dooper alternative. If you implement a perfect world let me know, I'll check it out. Maybe you'll convert me. :-)
