This is really an odd problem. You could easily compare it to police unions, whose employees never get rich either. Relatively speaking attorneys who work for the government do not get rich. The State monopolizes the system of education (schools) and the union is merely a matching monolith so you should not expect the benefits of free enterprise to be at work here. The wife (a teacher) makes 60K, which if extended to a full year would be 78K. The money has bugged her but not as much as the conditions she works under.

I wouldn't abolish teacher unions until we took the monopoly of education from the STATE. Then unions might live or die on their merits.
