Peter, Los Angeles and Chicago disprove the claim in your piece that strikes are disastrous for teacher unions. That claim is wrong, very wrong. We are losing precisely because we rely only on bureaucratic techniques that tend to favor the employer. As for the Taylor Law penalties, our union leadership should be pushing to get rid of them, not rallying against doing so at our delegate assemblies.
