I have also been somewhat torn about the role that the union plays but have come to different conclusions. What an interesting topic of conversation. My only reply is be thankful you live in a state that allows teachers to join unions. I teach in NC and we are not allowed to belong to collective bargaining units. Yes we have a North Carolina division of the NEA and can participate and pay into the organization. It does lobby the legislators-who determine our salaries-but we can't bargain at all. We have no protection against administrators who think we should stay after for meetings every day, etc. I have a master's degree and five years of experience and don't make $40,000.
