I grew up in New York City. We heard a lot about Unions in our history classes, because most of our parents [and all the teachers] were in a Union. Figured that was the norm for the whole country, because what kid really thinks about how text books are chosen?

Recently heard from another poster that their books siad that Unions were useful in the past, but were bad now because they interfered with the global economy.

There might've been a sort of "Golden period" where Union membership dropped off and benefits and working conditions were still good, but the longer you go without protections the more ground you lose. The global economy statement is also laughable. Are teleconferenced teachers from China taking the American teachers jerbs?
