Public unions (which should be outlawed, IMO) have taken advantage of no real entity with actual skin in the game on the other side of the negotiating table. All one has to do is look at the abhorrent behavior of the majority of the teacher's unions during the pandemic. They kept their teachers from working while never missing a pay check. Then, much of the stimulus money went to pay bonuses.

Teachers MERELY wanted SAFETY from CV, which everyone wanted. Their jobs are mostly indoors which have an 18% greater spread of CV than outdoors. Teachers did NOT want to be BULLIED by administrators that were more aligned with politicians than the teachers. CV was NEW and FRIGHTENING - teachers do NOT get DANGER pay like firefighters and the Police. CV IS still not over because of anti-vaxxers and ignorance of the strength of the Delta variant. I can understand the reluctance of teachers to jump into a petri dish.
