Just a question for teachers...?
Why do Teachers need a union when they teach that other unions (Steelworkers, autoworkers, construction workers, etc.) are evil and the cause of all of America's problems?

Solidarity, which may be hard to grasp, but teachers face so many incidental and odd situations they need a place to get legal help and advice from.

Georgia is a "Right to Work" state so there are no teacher unions here. I wish there were, though, as my salary is getting cut for the second time in the space of 6 months.

Unions help to keep fair labor between the workers and the employers, in this case, the school districts, et al. I have no clue which teachers you are referring to that bad mouth other work unions that you have listed.

I've also been wondering that but having a union doesn't even help because most teachers don't even get paid that much anyways.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
I have never once said that unions are evil. 18 year teacher here - who is teaching YOU?
